Overview

I remember when I first started reading the Bible how overwhelming it was to me. I did not understand it. It seemed so disconnected and foreign to what I knew about life. Some of the words were strange and unfamiliar to me. I can only imagine that many others felt the same way. Now, decades later, through study and spiritual growth, my understanding is far more mature, and the wisdom God has given me to apply his Word to my life context is much greater. I have a greater understanding of how it is all connected, although I am the first to admit there is much more for me to learn. The complexity of learning and doing the will of God has come into a much simpler focus for me. While profound enough in its academic width and depth to challenge the mind of the most ardent, scholarly theologian, the Bible's simplicity is available for all common folks like me. And that is what I hope to convey to all who read this book. God loves you and he wants you to know Him and love Him. He has prepared for you your own little Garden in ""Paradise."" This book helps one understand the personal relationship God intends for them to have Him. God has both a general will for all of us, and a unique will for each of us. This book is about learning and living in the will of God. The practical application of the biblical instruction offers both encouragement and possibility to the reader to help them recognize their own ""little garden in Eden."" That garden is the ""paradise"" He desires for each of us.

Author Information

Dr. Mike Duffy and his wife of fifty-seven years have three children together, twelve grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Mike's life experience is characterized by service, integrity, leadership, and accomplishment. He grew up in a home that was shattered by alcoholism when he was in elementary school. Overcoming this tragedy and trauma early in life, he has experienced productivity and success on many levels. Mike is a combat veteran who served a tour in Vietnam with an infantry battalion of the United States Army's Eighty-Second Airborne Division. He learned early the value and reward of working hard and excelled in a corporate career for fourteen years in administrative management and sales, receiving international awards at each level for outstanding achievement and accomplishment. Dr. Duffy received Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at age thirty-one and committed his life to Christian ministry at age thirty-five, ministering God's Word in nearly one thousand ministries nationally and internationally. The following statement from Mike reveals his heart: ""There is trauma and tragedy everywhere. I believe that everyone will face some adversity in life. How one responds to that adversity will shape their future. People can be paralyzed, damaged, or destroyed when adversity comes, or they can use adversity as motivation for positive change. We cannot change the past, but we do not have to live there either. We must learn from the past, look toward the future, but live today. Although no one can go back and change their beginning, they can begin today to change their ending. This is what hope looks like. I love serving God and others and have found that this approach in life is the pathway to happiness.Mike has authored several books and hundreds of articles published in his My Library of Life which can be found on his website: www.drmikeduffy.com.
