It’s my life growing up as a kid where I could have been dead and I honestly believe I had an angel by my side ever since I was born and I never really knew it till it came to me one night in a dream. I just survived child hood beatings to a gun put in your face and you never know if you will live in the next five minutes as a young little boy. As a boy going through a terrible time with the parents constantly fighting and I am receiving physical and verbal whippings for just being a little boy. Life can be a learning curve because you will learn from your mistakes and not having the parents around will make you learn something quick. As a little boy going through so much accidents and issues make you wonder how am I still alive and why. When you do grow up and you are just thrown to the wolves as life will make you fall and get back up again and to the wonders of God, I will still push him away and not even knowing it, God sent his little friends to my door or somewhere into my life to get your life together or you will either die or join the dark side of life and I still kept choosing the dark side again I still didn’t know it when this would happen. I just wanted to have fun and live life to the fullest. Life was rough growing up and you would always want to be that kid that would say “I can’t wait when I reach 21”. Always be careful what you wish because when you reach 25 years old then you are going to wish you was 16 again because we are adults and paying bills. We all hate paying bills because we have a responsibility now and we have to grow up faster. Time does go by really fast and that wish came true but it flew by fast. Enjoy life while it is here and have fun before it is too late because you never know when your day will come. Others are young and some are older and some or even more older than others but it can come by accident or by a disease. Just prepare yourself when it does come and make sure your life is on the right path so you know where your life will go. I am here to tell you the truth that there is a God and I am the living proof of what I have done, seen, heard and even felt the proof of his existence.

About the Book
Levi grew up as the kid who would never believe in anything. His parents didn’t take him to church, and it wasn’t until he was seven years old that he began occasionally joining his friend Edwin to go to a house of God. But even then, he did not know much about God, Jesus or the Bible. Spending time with Edwin and his family gave Levi a chance to escape his own unhappy home. He witnessed his mother cheating on his father and had to deal with his father’s verbal and physical abuse. Through it all, he just wanted to be loved like other children. Levi went through high school drinking and struggling to fit in, and then he joined the Marines, all the while struggling to believe in God. Even when his son was thought to have Down syndrome—but was born healthy—he shrugged it off as the doctors being wrong in their diagnosis. The obstacles that Levi overcame and the wars he survived show that God loves everyone—even those who don’t love Him back. He shares how he opened his eyes and went from Atheist to Christian.
