About the book:
I grew up in a conservative Christian home, and I knew about God - but I didn’t truly know God. That didn’t occur until much later in my life…
I finally came to know God in my early 30’s. It was then when I met an angel.
Now, this particular angel didn’t have wings or wear a long robe, she was an angel of virtue - a messenger of God. She became my teacher and provided me with a pathway to God that I never knew existed. She also helped me to begin “living in the light” through my own self-discovery.
And from that moment on, I knew I had something to share with the world. I also knew that I had been given the responsibility of doing God’s work - but I just wasn’t ready. I was young, selfish and focused on other things in life. But I never forgot about her teachings - what she taught me had opened my eyes.
Then I came to experience my own “hell on earth.” In the depths of the great recession, my business and financial house of cards came tumbling down. What ensued thereafter is what I would consider to be the most brutal 12 years of my life on this earth. I managed to make a myriad of bad decisions - decisions based on my elevated emotions of fear, panic, and desperation. I then began to lose access to the controls in my mind - and found that I had been suffering from stress induced depression and anxiety for many years.
My life had become a living hell.
I had to start over. So, I did. I went back to those teachings from long ago, and I learned about Game Theory. I then began to rebuild my life with God and Game Theory as my pillars.
I knew that God had plans for me and it was time that I dedicated my life to him. I also knew that I had to make better decisions moving forward, so I incorporated Game Theory into my decision making process (and my life).
I had also rededicated my life to learning - and seeking knowledge.
I was also praying to God for guidance each and every day - and I fully trusted in him.
And soon thereafter, my life began to change in the most amazing ways.
I began to feel a powerful sense of purpose - as though God was guiding me to do something almost unimaginable.
I then began to combine the teachings of my past - with my new found knowledge...
And in the process, I found that I had created a guide to living my current and future life. I was following it, as I was creating it, so I could test the validity of its principles in my everyday life. I was experiencing the cause and effect of living by the teachings of old - in combination with my newly acquired knowledge of Game Theory.
I became fully committed to God - with great intention, which enabled me to acquire an extraordinary relationship with him.
And this, is when I began to experience living in “Heaven On Earth."
Just know, that no matter where you are in life, God is always there.
I continued to follow him...and he led me here.
He was my guide along the way.
May this book be your guide - each and every day.
