This is my personal statement of conversion to Jesus Christ as my Savior and Redeemer within the context of my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was baptized when I was fifteen years old. I came from what I would call a pseudo-Christian background. I knew the stories of Christmas and Easter and assumed they represented real events, but I had no relationship with Christ, no prayer life, and no knowledge of the Bible.
I was converted initially not to Christ but to Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. My search for and conversion to Christ did not come until later in my life. I recount in the book how my recognition of my need for a Savior and of Jesus as that Savior came about.
The structure of the book follows the chronology of the Gospel of Matthew. My focus is not on the sermons and preaching of Jesus, but on his actions. I believe every act of Christ was intentional and designed to reinforce his teachings. Rather than discuss Jesus's parables, I discuss His life as a series of informative, living parables. I then relate incidents in my life where those living parables have played a role in bringing me to Jesus.
