Maybe if he could get away this time, he could start fresh. But it was not to be. The evilness came on him. The monster came out and he had to feed it. He drove into Pensacola and scouted around, looking for his next victim. The community of Brownsville is located on the west side of town. In the 1970s it was a busy, bustling, middle-class community with mixed business and residential properties. This would work. Ted could find a victim here. He parked the stolen tan Volkswagen Beetle in the parking lot of a busy restaurant - Oscar's - so no one would notice it.

TRUTH This book is the result of many years of lay ministry and study. It is also the result of seeing how this world is changing and how truth is becoming less important every day. Jesus Christ is the Truth for all time. It was Jesus himself who said that many people would miss the truth, abandon the faith, and miss eternity with God. The Bible also states that there will be great deception in the last days. This book is written to fight that deception. Note that there is a sword on the front cover. Remember that you are in a battle and will be until you enter eternity. Mike Simmons has served in churches for over twenty five years. He has worked in church nurseries, with youth and adults, and even filled in the pulpit as needed. He loves to preach and teach and to do one on one ministry. Starting out his career as an engineer, Mike loves to be scientific and accurate. This passion for accuracy and truth has given him the desire to accurately divide the word of truth, to study the languages and customs of the Bible, to separate false doctrine from truth, and to write this book. Mike has answered the call of God to enter full-time ministry. He graduated from LIFE Pacific College in 2009. Mike currently lives in Tucson Arizona and is available for ministry engagements.
