Book excerpt: Heaven-It’s a Family Thing is the first in a planned series of subject based study books. Hopefully, these writings will be found to be helpful to any and all who decide to use them alongside scripture in developing and living with a fuller understanding of God and His plan as described in the Bible. My goal is to speak in plain everyday language, as this is all that I know, but to see scripture as it is revealed with a thorough and clear view toward its teachings and quite possibly a more complete view of the subject at hand. As in this writing I have attempted to fully explain Baptism as the scriptures discuss and in such a way as I have never really heard taught from the pulpit. A more complete understanding of the Will of God and what He has provided for us through this Baptism, so that all who are willing might be able to truly state, “Abba Father.”
