Book excerpt: The struggle began with a stubborn, obstinate, strong-willed child, a powerful journey through life-erupting soul-searching. A probe that began at the death of his father when he was at the tender age of seven. Propelled by the emergence of an enormous ego drive to be in control; drove him into pursuing whatever he desired. His life parallels the direction in which our world is now traveling; pursuing whatsoever is desired without taking into account that the day of accountability is quickly approaching.
