Download or read book God Man Run to God written by Dr . Tony G. Minyard and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have to ask you a question: Have you ever needed someone to help you? The answer to this simple question is for a person to overcome any obstacle, they have to believe in someone or something bigger than themselves in the spiritual realm. The source of supernatural power that I write about in this book called The God-Man, Run to God is a supernatural God, Whom you need. The purpose of my book is to persuade you, the reader, to "run to God" in times of need. This is the reason He created us in His image. God does understand you because He loves you. The chapters in this book are "Why? We Need God"; "Why? Uncharted Waters"; "Why? Job"; "The God of Your Fathers: I Am"; "Why? Moses"; "Why? Samson"; "Why Can't You? Jesus Did"; and lastly "Why? Heart Transplant." Ever since the garden of Eden, man went from the glory of God covered with His light from the darkness from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is why we need God. He sent Jesus to become that Lamb to die on the Cross so we then now can accept that gift and have a supernatural heart transplant. The author hopes that you, the reader, can have an open mind with the understanding that God wants you to run into His arms again in fellowship. This was His plan from the beginning of time. One day all of us are going to die, and this earthly tent we call our body will decay. However, our spirit will live in a place called either heaven or hell. The author is praying that you, the reader, will make the right choice, and no person can rightly make anyone choose it. God has given everything that has breath on earth free will. This book was written with a purpose and a God-given purpose that guides you to make the right decision.
