"What is the difference in school and life? In school you're given a lesson and then a test. "In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson" Tom Bodet That's what this book is all about, passing the test and learning our lessons so we can develop into mature Christians. My name is Blaine Batts and I have been a professional entertainer for over 50 years, the last 10 years under the name Ray Desmond. I have 66 years of a life well lived, 3 years dating my wife, with integrity, and 40 years of a strong successful marriage with three children and 10 grandchildren. Our children although in their 30's, with children of their own, still come over for game nights, go to the movies with us and invite us over for activities at their houses. I still have great relationships with people I went to high school with and because of being a part of their lives I was able to be there for them when cancer or other life changing issues affected their lives. I have been able to do this because I have learned what is important in life. It takes work, motivation, and an understanding of the big picture, and I have a passion for passing that picture on to others. I am also the founder of Decide 2 B Better Seminars. I go through some the things in this book in depth in my seminars plus a lot more.
