I Choose the Light

After his divorce, which was very painful, Mark started to look at many aspects of life and faith, and one day the poetic stories in this book started coming to him very rapidly.

Hopefully readers will be able to thoroughly reflect on their own lives and faith. If someone is able to change their negative behavior and make better choices in life, or be able to be helped in coping with grief and emptiness of loss, this book will be considered a success.
