As part of our usual book giveaway at each event, we’re very glad to be giving away ‘My Burden is Light’ published by our sponsor TAN BOOKS to a special attendee at Wayne’s event next week!

In this book, Otto explores the essential role of suffering in the Christian journey towards Heaven. He interprets the words of St. John of Avila, portraying the Christian life as a celestial expedition fraught with battles, ambushes, and deceptions—a spiritual warfare where one must remain vigilant and supported by the fellowship of believers.

At the event, Wayne will share his personal experiences that echo these themes. He describes encounters with profound evil, not in the overt form of Satan with horns and claws, but in a more insidious guise. He recounts a particularly harrowing ordeal:

“There were guys who, in this case, intended to steal her entire $200 million portfolio because of her $20 million loan she made.”

While I won’t spoil more, this narrative aligns with our understanding that God allows suffering to draw us closer to Him, testing us to reveal His omnipresence and our need for His guidance. That these experiences ultimately show us indirectly the way to the light of God.

We eagerly anticipate your presence at the event, where we will delve deeper into how some of Wayne’s greatest trials demonstrated to him God's undeniable existence and His ultimate authority.

Can’t wait for you to also grasp this story and am very much looking forward to seeing you there!
