       PREFACE

Life sometimes seems to be like a mighty magnet, which compels one almost in remote control fashion.

Yet if karma has the final say, why would it appear that some people are luckier than others? Our own thoughts, words, choices, habits and attitudes continue to turn and empower circumstances, events and people, which in turn touch and shape our destiny. Yet we often find ourselves trapped in confusion where life no longer seems to make any sense.

Does ‘church’ still have a valid voice in society? Unlike the situation in the time of the Reformation in Luther’s day, the pulpit of the formal church has, especially amongst young people, lost a lot of its public impact. Purgatory indulgences (‘sin now, pay later’, or actually ‘pay now sin later!’) then purchased at any price, have now made room for the same spider in a new web: religious indifference. The purpose of both these lies is to keep man caged in ignorance of his true identity.

I believe that within the horizon of our hearts, the voice of our spirit echoes truth. We are designed to explore and discover our inmost self, the wealth of light and life within our reach. Even the sense of hopelessness in a crisis would prompt us to dig deeper to find the Rock-foundation inside of us.

I pray that this writing would challenge and stir you to the core of your being and your beliefs to remove every trace of the substitute, man-made self-image with its glorious head of golden glitter and its silvery bust and bronze body. The little stone that was cut out by no human hand is destined to strike the image of vanity and piety on its feet of iron and clay and become in its place a Rock that fills the whole earth; the true image and likeness of God, restored and revealed in man. (Dan.2:32-35)
