A few years after I began ministering to alcoholics and addicts and before I made ministry my vocation as well as my avocation, I was in a spiritual conundrum. I felt that there was much more to Jesus than I knew.

It was a time of great theological confusion for me. The teachings I was hearing sounded counter-intuitive to the loving, caring Jesus who had rescued me from addiction to drugs and alcohol ten years past.

One church was teaching that it is possible to backslide (fall into a life of sin) and lose your salvation. Another taught that we are saved by grace but required to keep the ten commandments and the 603 attached man-made ordinances. Another taught that we were required to give 10% of our net income to God or live in lack.

Televangelists were shouting works and supporting their ministry by giving 10% so that they could purchase a new jet. The same was teaching that you got faith by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word. This teaching confused me. How much then would you have to hear to get this elusive faith? Would an hour do it? 20 years?

One tele-pastor screamed that God sent Hurricane Katrina to wipe out the prostitutes on Bourbon Street. Hundreds of people were killed, billions of dollars of damage were done, but God missed. Bourbon street was not touched.

One famous preacher was teaching that God takes things from us to teach us things and to get our attention.

One Ph.D. seminarian told me that God burnt his house down to teach him that he did not need material things.

I presumed that these folks were experts. They must know the Word. Wrong.

All of this ran against my Spirit. How could a loving, caring God do these things? Why would a God who loved his children far more than Himself do evil?

Another feeling I had was one of being in constant anxiety and worry. So I got down on my knees and cried out to my King. I begged Him to take me deeper into the things of Him.

Suddenly, the scriptures became crystal clear. I could understand scriptures that had been muddled mysteries to me.

Then I surrendered my mind to the Holy Spirit and delved intensely into the Word for 20 years. I spent hours and hours every day scouring the Word with concordances which explained the Words in their original languages, and dictionaries, locked up in a library.

God showed me His great and precious promises that He left us as His last will. I have never heard them taught. This book is the result of those years of searching and listening. It will:

• Help you understand scriptures that have been confusing to you for your entire walk with God.
• Teach you how to receive the Great and Precious Promises to you from God that very few people know and fewer believe.
• Empower you
• Enlighten you
• Heal you
• Take away your guilt feelings
• Teach you how to have the courage and deliver you from anxiety, worry, and fear.
• Show you how deeply God loves you and cherishes you no matter who you are, what you believe or what you do.
• Bring you the peace that you have been craving all of your life.
• It will show you how to receive the peace that passes all understanding.
• Reveal to you the mysteries of the ages including how to live a life of abundance, happiness, and joy.

It may at first be offensive to you because it goes against your religious paradigms. Hold your nose and read it through. Then keep what you believe and spit the rest out.
We do not claim spiritual perfection or theological superiority!

You will state after reading “Why Jesus Ain’t Gonna Do Nothin!” “If only I had known these things earlier!” Remember that it is NEVER too late to learn and change ourselves for the better.
