| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is a memoir depicting, through dramatized scenes, my spiritual journey through the occult and yoga and my subsequent, miraculous conversion to Christianity. The first third of the manuscript describes my spiritual search and struggles from age fourteen to twenty-three. The middle section focuses on the pivotal moments that turned me to Christ. The final third concludes with several essays illustrating my new life as a Christian with a particular emphasis on the working of the Holy Spirit. By my personal experiences, the thesis illustrates that if anyone is in Christ, he is dead to his old ways and born again as a new creature. | |
