email from you. I eagerly await anything
further you send my way. I know these steps

I just wanted to let you know how
much I am enjoying your
Spiritual Starter Kit.
After each one I can't wait for the next
one. They are so down to earth and right
on the money. I never realized Christians
could be so cool.

Spiritual Starter kit have been
so amazing to me.

great change in my life from

36. Over the past 4 years I have slowly been broken down to a level where I could no longer cope. I
developed an addiction to cannabis, (we both) started to drink heavily, I pushed my marriage to
breaking point and reached a stage earlier this year where I was considering suicide as the only
option left. I was angry and confused at how I could have let my life get so far out of control…..
I reached a point where I woke up each morning, watched my wife go to work, then smoked dope
for hours. It was my only way of getting through the day without ending my life. I was scared,
desperate…and heavily in debt.
To put pressure on my marriage even more, I became obsessed with an attractive female
neighbour. It was one morning while surfing the web and ogling her facebook site that she
announced she had become a Christian. From that moment on, I seemed to get bombarded with
Christian thoughts. Everywhere I went, it was there. I couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing it or
open a book or read an online document without some reference to God. I went out in a rage one
morning to walk the dog and bumped into a neighbour. During conversation he confided in me that
he had become a Christian. I was being driven mad!!! I went home, sat down, and cried.
After an hour of the most crippling emotional experience I have ever experienced, I felt a
tremendous burden lifted off my shoulders. Hard to explain, but most definitely a change. I went to
my computer and googled “starting a new life with god”. No idea why that phrase, but it led me to
your site on the first link I clicked. I registered… and what I have read makes the most perfect
sense. In a life trampled by confusion, it seemed to offer the most ridiculously obvious clarity I have
ever imagined. Things that did not make sense to me before, now had meaning. Areas I struggled
with in the past (when I had a ‘Christian moment’) and had written off Christianity because of, now
seemed so logical, I couldn’t understand how (or why) I had written them off before. I now realise
the Holy Spirit had touched my life.
37. This was meant to be a few sentences, but you have offered me a gift which has
changed my life. I feel indebted to you for devoting so much of your time and
energy to make the information available in a way a complete novice like me could
understand. I feel a little strange confiding to someone I have never met or spoken
to, but it feels right to verbalise what troubled me for so long.
Things have not changed dramatically in everyday life. My father still struggles with
poor health. My wife and I will not be able to have kids, nor will her mum ever return
from the vegetative state. I still have not found work and money is a serious
problem for us. But now I have hope. I realise that God has a plan for me and just
because I don’t know exactly what it is yet, doesn’t detract from its importance or its
existence. I have kicked the cannabis habit and the alcohol, but still struggle with
smoking tobacco. I’m hopeful that smoking too will lessen its grip the more I pray
about it and have faith that God will strengthen me to remove it in his time.
My main struggle now is the relationship with my wife. The damage that has been
done over the past few years cannot be undone. I am praying about it daily and
only hope that she will see a change in me over the months to come that could not
have come about except through a personal relationship with God.
Thank you Marilyn…thank you so, so much….You don’t realise how much you have
impacted my life through your belief in God. Stephen
