About the Author
Gary Dean Luitjens began his search for God when he was fifteen years old. When he was thirty years old, he was baptized. When he was thirty-five years old, he went to college to become a pastor. He is a seeker of knowledge and believes in putting that knowledge into practice, which eventually led to the creation of this book. Luitjens has been with his wife Debbie for twenty-six years and they currently reside in east Tennessee where he is a respiratory therapist. This career allows him to heal people mind, body, and soul. Together, he and Debbie have three daughters and two sons, with ten grandchildren between them, and they are so proud of them all! Luitjens hopes to share the joys and challenges that life as a Christian can bring. True happiness in the Lord comes from seeking the truth and then taking that truth and applying it to everyday life. He encourages everyone to stay on the path of righteousness!
