It is not important for an author of a Christian book to get recognition from the status quo when dealing with God's Word. For John the Baptist made it plain to future believers when he said, "He must increase, and I must decrease" (John 3:30). Thus, this author's identity will remain as his pen name, Deacon-X, on any books written by him. More important is the message from the sixty-six books contained in the Bible that leads a lost soul from condemnation to justification, to sanctification, and future glorification; all because of repentance and faith in Jesus who died for lost sinners like us that we might have life. This collection of short ministries is not written by a pastor, missionary, or by a Bible college professors, but by an ordinary stiff who worked for sixteen years as an electrician and over thirty-five years as a real estate broker, and who got saved on his last year as a tradesman. Don't expect it to always contain proper grammar, but prayerfully it will contain proper truths from this nameless conservative believer who was taught in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2 in a nondenominational gathering by faithful men with shepherds' hearts. This blue collar author was born in September 1946, and born again in September 1979 after hearing the gospel for the first time at the age of thirty-three. In his first ten years as a believer, he attended a denominational gathering and then moved to a nondenominational meeting where all the gifted men shared preaching and teaching. Deacon-X grew and hopefully did his share serving Christ, his church, and his coming kingdom. We hope you enjoy his down to earth blue collar daily conservative approach to the Word of God that will spur you on to delve deeper into the eternal pillars of scripture.

All because Jesus died for lost sinners like you and me, of whom I am chief. This is a book not by a pastor, missionary, or Bible college professor, but an ordinary working stiff who refused to follow God’s leading and settled for second best in the things of Christ for most of my pilgrimage. It took an illness to pry me away from my worldly pursuits and write down and record a few of my old and newer ministry messages on sections of my three favorite Bible books, Genesis, John’s gospel, and Romans. Don’t expect it to contain proper grammar but proper truth from this nameless conservative believer who was taught in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2 in a non-denominational gathering.

This book is written from a personal coming of age perspective. It shares the many years and stages of a non-believer and the radical transformation to a believer. Though many of the stories can be quite embarrassing for the author at times, he feels it is imperative to share his memories, leaving nothing out, with a no holds barred approach revealing a lifestyle worth of much shame. The transformation is the key to the story, as he is led by the Holy Spirit. As his story develops, life then takes on new meaning and he admires how God works His providence, trusting in His will to be done. Lives can change, as you will see, but that does not mean there wont be opposition. As you will come to learn through Blue Collar Believer, sometimes the biggest obstacles come with the ones you love the most. It takes the reality of life, which is death, and this is the only tool to give the afterlife serious thought. Though we can appeal to the intellect, it is up to the Holy Spirt to convict the heart. As an ambassadors for Christ, we must always be ready for opportunities to defend the gospel, showing love and compassion. We live in a lost and dying world, and if only it were easy to share the Gospel and get a positive response 100% of the time, but as you will see, this just not is the case. Jesus said, He who has ears, let him hear. Unfortunately most ears who hear are deaf, but that does not mean we give up. Persistence and love for the lost can do wonders and all things are possible with God. Journey with Blue Collar Believer, from beginning to end and be guided on a tour with a testimony that will not soon be forgotten. It is an emotional roller coaster, filled with many ups and downs. You will laugh, you will cry, but more importantly, it will get you to think. If you have to see it to believe it, get ready to experience it for yourself through the words of a Blue Collar Believer.
