This book takes you through the darkness of my earliest childhood into a brighter revelation of a mysterious, yet compassionate, spiritual being, which took me time to understand and receive. It describes how my personal experiences expressed a spiritual dichotomy as depicted in my painting "2021 A.D.", which is the basis of this short story.
Have you ever had personal "spiritual" experiences that you couldn't really understand?
Have you had "spiritual" experiences that only you could understand?
How do family relationships tie into spirituality in our understanding of who God is?
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between God, Christ, and religion?
Are they the same or are they two separate entities?
This book explores these questions from my own personal experiences from childhood to adulthood in a unique literary and visual form. It lets the reader discern whether it is real and relatable for them.
