    About this ebook

    I love faces! Old, young, and everything in between, they’re all beautifully and uniquely sacred. When I foolishly busy myself with myself, I run the risk of turning the sacredly significant into a blurred irrelevance. I can’t allow the visual of others to be relegated in such a manner. The cost is far too expensive. You see, it’s in those faces that I see God’s care made manifest to my eyes!

    Bill Taylor

    I believe when it comes to the topic of "faith" it's important to know the heart of the writer you are reading. Hence, a little insight. If you've perused my writings I trust you have noticed that I'm an unapologetic non-conformist thus not religious per say. In fact, my greatest concern in life is to be summarily dismissed as a "religious person". My preference? A "real person" serving "a real God" who "really loves" THE WORLD. From day one of my sojourn with God it's always been a "real or nothing" mindset. I couldn't imagine any other way to approach the journey. Admittedly, never perfect and often awkward, but that has been and continues to be the narrow road I travel. At 27 years of age Jesus literally stole my heart. I did not join a "Club". I fell in love and entered the "Kingdom" of my Lover. To me, that was as glorious and serious as it gets! While my writings may not adhere to the status quo at times, I do hope at the very least they provide stimulation for serious contemplation. Blessings to all. Bill Taylor
