Warning! This book could change the way you think.
if you have ever wondered why it seems that a few people make all the difference in the world, and if you have ever wondered why some people seem happier and luckier than others—especially if you have ever wanted to be one of them—then this book is for you.
The premise is simple: all of us have the same access to God no matter what our particular beliefs may be. It is up to each of us to reach out and connect. Inside, you will find 100 ways to connect and all the reasons, too!
Meet the General whose work helped make defensive weapons the most sought after systems in the world's military budgets.
So it really is possible to “hit a bullet with a bullet.” But going from disbelief to a state of reasonable certainty required intense effort and coordination. It also required an individual with a certain kind of background and belief. Come meet the General!
