Author Mosley presents his strong thesis that to be saved, one must sincerely, utterly repent and offer one’s being—body, soul, and spirit—to God. He offers considerable scriptural reference from the Holy Bible to underpin this assertion, from the very beginning when Adam was created as the first human and Eve as his wife. There began, too, the interference of Satan, resolving to destroy God’s works by infusing the human soul with evil thoughts, words, and deeds, a curse that continues to plague mankind as scripture predicted.

The soul—thoughts, emotions, and actions that result from them—must be guided instead by the Holy Spirit. To believe otherwise is a major flaw that the author observes in all peoples, regardless of their stated religious beliefs. To enter the eternal paradise described by God, Jesus, and the prophets, one must pray for repentance. Mosley has helpfully included a humble repentance prayer specifically for readers to adapt in their process of rebirth, containing an admission of sin, an understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus, and an expression of gratitude for God’s love and grace.

Mosley is a man of many skills, having been a practicing dentist for forty years, serving in that role in the military during the Vietnam War, and now active in ministry and evangelism in his local Christian fellowship. He has extensively explored scripture to support his dynamic theme. He takes a sagacious view of current socio-cultural and religion-based denominational factors that can deceive a sincere person into believing that s/he is living a good and decent life while, in fact, without the true repentance required, is still in danger of eternal damnation. Mosley’s sharing of his basic conviction is generous and thought-provoking and will undoubtedly provide a rich focus for discussion groups and individual contemplation.
