About this ebook
Is there only one way to be saved? Why do I believe that belief in Jesus (Yeshua) is the only way to be saved?
[“Jesus” is the Greek (Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous)) to English derivation. “Yeshua” (ישוע), is the Hebrew to English derivation]
One might also ask, “Saved from what?” What is it that can stop you from knowing anything, seeing anything, experiencing anything, and enjoying anything (the list can go on and on)?
NOT HAVING LIFE!! You must be ALIVE to experience anything. As it is written:
For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? (Mark 8:36 NASV)
In other words: If you were the most powerful and richest person in the world; if you were to lose your life, you have nothing!
(Eccl 9:4 NLT) There is hope only for the living. For as they say, "It is better to be a live dog than a dead lion!"
What is offered by God is eternal life! One might say, “I wouldn’t want to live forever.” The only reason one would say that is because this present life is in mind. In this present life, there are many things to be concerned about. But the life to come, the life that God promises for those who love Him, is wonderful beyond what we can conceive in our natural minds!
(1 Cor 2:9 NIV) However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--
So how does one acquire that life I'm referring to, and what does the holiness of God have to do with it?

I was born near downtown Joliet, IL by Italian parents on February the 9th, 1932. Started reading the Bible in my mid teens, but didn’t fully understand what Jesus accomplished until years later when I joined the Navy because of the Korean War. I joined the Navy for three reasons: One, I felt a responsibility to serve my country; Two, many of my uncles had served in the Navy during World War II; and Three, because of my religious beliefs, I felt that there was a better chance of my not having to kill anyone face to face in the Navy. After praying about it, I enlisted in the Navy in early February 1951, and eventually was assigned to a ship in the amphibious branch of the Navy, named the USS Monrovia APA 31. Being in the amphibious branch of the Navy, we carried Marines and practiced amphibious landings. During one of those times there was a Marine Master Sergeant who conducted a bible class aboard my ship, and I attended it. It was in his class that I came to fully understand what Jesus did for any of us who puts their faith in Him. God honored my prayer and kept me away from combat. But it wasn’t until many years later (starting in the 60’s) that a cousin and I (after much prayer and study of the Bible) came to see the Jewishness of our beliefs. My cousin and I and a very close friend started a small church in Lockport, IL, but because our beliefs, for the most part, were different than typical “Christianity” we only lasted for a few years. I eventually ended up in a Messianic Jewish congregation because it was closer to my beliefs. But I no longer attend there. One reason: I don't drive long distances because of my age and some eye trouble, As I said in the preface of my first book, what I have written (with much prayer) is mainly from my own study of the Scriptures. Like the Apostle Paul, I never married. Not that I didn’t desire to, but I left it up to God. I came close a few times, but it must not have been His will. Perhaps, if I had married I would never have written my books. As the Apostle Paul said: (1 Cor 7:32-34a NIV) I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs--how he can please the Lord. {33} But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife-- {34} and his interests are divided. Be that as it may, I never married. As I look back, I believe that God had saved me much grief: One died in child birth, one died of cancer, and one died, but I don’t know how since I found out indirectly, years later, through the obituary of her father. I pray that God, through His Son, Jesus/Yeshua, will guide all who read my books..
