Chapter 1: The First Move
As a teenager attending a summer youth retreat, the author experienced a transformative moment when he responded to the evangelist's call for a decision. Despite initial reluctance and social motives for attending the retreat, a mysterious inner strength compelled him to raise his hand in obedience to the gospel. This marked the beginning of a spiritual journey that challenged his previous perceptions of faith and belief.
Even though the author was familiar with Christian teachings due to being a pastor's kid, he had not embraced faith personally until that moment at the retreat. The encounter with the gospel message stirred something within him, leading to a significant shift in his thoughts and actions. This pivotal experience highlights the power of divine initiative in drawing individuals towards spiritual awakening and transformation.
Through this personal anecdote, the author sets the stage for exploring deeper themes of spiritual growth, overcoming objections to faith, and the relevance of such encounters in shaping one's worldview and beliefs.
