I used to be an ardent defender of Young-Earth Creationism. But as I learned more about the Bible and evolution, I came to believe that God's power is not diminished and the Bible's truth is in no way compromised by accepting the scientific consensus.
This book is not intended to convince anyone of theistic evolution, as this is not my current interest. Rather, I would like to undo some of the damage I may have caused to the Body of Christ by placing the flawless Gospel on the broken foundation of the YEC interpretation of Genesis.

The Book of Genesis (NIV)
I've decided to do a long term project of writing the New International Version of the Christian Bible in its entirety here on Wattpad to get the Christian message across. God is good and he created us in His image. Every problem you face in your life, no matter what that problem is, there is always an answer somewhere in the Christian Bible. How can I start anywhere else other than where it all began? Ladies and gentlemen, here are all 50 chapters of the Book of Genesis as written in the New International Version of the Christian Bible. The other books shall be published shortly. I hope you all enjoy and God bless every single one of you! :)Complete
From Me to You
*completed* Not exactly sure why I write these. Partially to remind me in hard times, and partially so I can see what I've learned and how far I've come. I decided to share them, anonymously of course. Hopefully its written in a way that can help you walk your own path and understand things from a different perspective. Inspired from events in my life, in relation to being positive, a relationship with Jesus, and Christianity itself.Complete
The Little Wolf: Born through Darkness/ Sovereene: Emerging through the Flames
Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Our main characters Journey starts in isolation, and pain. Guard your hearts as you delve deeper into the conspiracy our main character has unknowingly been born into. Brace yourselves for the roller coaster ride that is her life, and above all else hold on to the hope that our main character will make it to the end of her journey completely sane. "My book is nonfiction, and it's a hundred pages. It's about a young woman taken at birth by hunters for experimentation. The main character has a past she doesn't remember, and a power she has no knowledge of. My book has elements of mythical creatures, reincarnation, and violence. It's about my Main character, and her struggle to survive. And if she's lucky, the past doesn't repeat itself." -ALA Please leave constructive criticism, I can take it
My Israel
I was moved to write this story in an effort to educate people about God, His laws and how it caused me to separate myself from a religion I practiced for nearly 40 years. I also hope to inspire others to gain an interest and perhaps, as I have obtained, a passion for studying Biblical Hebrew. I will also uncover a centuries old conspiracy to conceal the actual name of God! Another purpose is to dispel some myths that people that leave The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leave for only two reasons; they have lost faith, or they have been offended by someone. This is not the case with me, and I believe there is a growing number of people who have left for similar reasons. I want to be clear, my intent is not to destroy the church. I do not have any animosity towards the church nor the leaders or members. I acknowledge many members and leaders of the church are truly dedicated to living the gospel the best they know how. I also have great empathy for current members of the church as just a few years ago, I was a devout member of the church myself!Complete
John (there is good news)
The gospel of John from the Bible. If you would like to swear, please be respectful and avoid the comments. If you absolutely must tell a Christian how terrible they are, please private message me. Also, if you have any questions, you may private message me as well. Thank you.Complete
The Dark Ages: Convergence (Prequel to the P.O.E. Chronicles)
*This story is the prequel to the P.O.E. Chronicles and will reveal some mystery in the novel (think Star Wars). If you want to read chronologically, go ahead, otherwise, read Evolution first* Before there was peace, there was chaos. Before there were Citybases, there were Ruins. Before there was UGE, there were remnant governments, each with their own agenda. Before there were P.O.E.s, there were rogue mutants with no disciple or training. But in chaos, order will converge. And in darkness, light will emerge. All Akram ever knew was the darkened streets of the ruin that was London, all he knew was to stay hidden, scavenge things and trust no one. His grandfather loved to tell him of The Time that Had Been, where food was abundant and strangers kind to each other. When his sister was kidnapped and found, the truth behind her abduction set off a chain of events that had him running to Paris in hope of finding his estranged family with a girl and powers beyond what he could comprehend. Little did he know that it was only the beginning of his story, the story of the Originals. Cover: @Kitkattish *I have made a few changes in the published version of the Evolution, which resulted in some deviation from the first draft I posted on Wattpad.*Complete
God-confident!
If you have paid for a copy of this e-book, please demand for your money back because this is free. Please feel free to give out a copy of this e-book to everyone you know who needs it. I have written this for confused women who don't know how to value themselves. I've written this book for that young lady who doesn't see her worth. I have written this for that insecure girl who wants to take her own life because she feels her life isn't worth living anymore. May God use the words in this to breathe life into tired souls. What makes me qualified to write this kind of e-book? I can tell you that I was once very insecure about myself. I have been all that I've mentioned above. When I was a child, I had death wishes. When I grew into a teenager, I wanted to kill myself or wanted to disappear and be invisible. When I grew into adulthood, I was so insecure about my own self-worth that I let it stop me from living the life I was supposed to live. But I outgrew all of these because I grew confident - confident of God and myself. I won't say that I've reached the perfect level of confidence but I grew up a lot. In this e-book, I will talk about confidence and identity. I hope you will take the time to take this growth development with me. I have made this a God-book because after all - God is the source of confidence.Complete
Selection (Book 2 of P.O.E. chronicles)
(This is the book 2 of POE chronicles - please check out book 1 Evolution first ) Evolution had created us. Allowed us to be different, given us a chance to survive outside the walls of Citybases. But evolution had also made them. They might not be as intelligent as we are, but nature is on their side this time around. This is a game of survival; a game to see who adapt faster and grow stronger. You have no idea who your enemies are or what to believe. All you can do is try your best to stay alive. Nature only favours those with the right adaptation, ruthlessly eliminating the rest. Nature will make you. It will also break you. Only the fittest survive. Amazing cover by @MulanJiang Now available on Kindle or as paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6ZLXHQComplete
The Story of God - The Story of Us
I'm here to share my personal story about the time I met Jesus Christ. That encounter changed my life completely. Before that, I never had a real relationship with Jesus, my personal Savior. I didn't know Him, but He knew me even before He created me in my mother's womb. My life was really difficult-I was homeless, deaf, and unemployed after leaving the California School for the Deaf at 19 years old. I'll explain more later because I don't want to spoil my story for you. As you can see, I love Bible comic art. I drew this picture myself, though I'm not very good at drawing. The reason I created a comic about Jesus Christ versus Lucifer is because I wanted to share that story-not just about me, but about all of us in Christ alone. I have experienced a supernatural, divine intervention from God.
Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity
Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.Complete
