Synopsis

This book is an exploration of the world through the author's extensive travel and a variety of his artistic expressions. It includes the struggles and setbacks that he endured as well as the successes and new beginnings that were provided by God. Along his journey, the author discovered his purpose and clearly heard his calling. After a lifetime full of many adventures, he returned to the faith he had as a child. At last, he realized that God had always been with him. And now God continues to protect him, encourage him, bless him, and speak through him.
