Rog Gryder Memoirs of a Sojourner

Annotation

Over the span of fi fty fi ve years, beginning at age eight, I haveinvestigated many religions. I have read Islams Quran cover-tocover,as well as the Catholic apocrypha, in which the book ofSusanna touches my heart dearly. I have read the Book of Mormon coverto-cover and it, too, touched my heart. I have been lured by the grace ofHindus and Buddhists to ponder their beliefs. Yet, I do not consider these tobe a part of the preserved Word of God. Only the Biblical teachings of JesusChrist explain to me where my spirit came from. It tells me what I did to fallfrom Gods grace, why I am on this planet, and why I need pardon greaterthan I can obtain myself. Jesus Christ has provided the Way and no otherbook explains it as does the Holy Bible. Th e Bible gives me healthy hope tocarry on with gusto. As of the year 2010, I have read the King James HolyBible cover-to-cover more than twenty fi ve times. Th is ongoing reading, ofthe preserved Word of God, is the only credential I claim and stand fi rmlyupon. Biblical faith is not blind, but anchored securely in observable science. I am a nuts-and-bolts, up to my elbows in grease, kind of gear head. I want toknow what makes it tick! Th e Authorized Holy Bible is the repair manualfor life, for dummies! It explains the mysteries of Gods kingdom in detail tothose who read it all very carefully. I have not arrived. My sojourn in thisfar country called earth is still in motion. However, we are at the thresholdof major global events, as never before seen by man. Th ese events are allforetold in Gods preserved written Word. Hence, my reading of Th e HolyBible is my only credential, and I have a passion for sharing what I havefound! May you be blessed eternally as you journey with me the corridorsof life that are not limited by time and space. May the Lord add His blessingto the reading of His entire Word. Amen. Rog
