A FAMILY AFFAIR

The contents of this long book will give you some idea of what you are about to embark on. I promise you will find it intriguing, and shocking too; it may disturb and even perhaps cause you to pause. It will certainly challenge your equilibrium! Have we got it right? Simply writing this book has moved me.

This is not a religious book, but several of the characters are Christian, as I am. If you are a Christian, I hope that reading this book will cause you to stop and contemplate, and even pray. Have we got it right?

If you're not a Christian, no matter. This is not a religious book and was not written for any particular sector of the market.

So, to the Contents.
