I was asked by the writer of this book, Carver Alan Ames, to write the preface. As a Catholic priest, I would like to tell you that I am astonished at the same time impressed with the spiritual and ascetic knowledge of this man.
Bear in mind that Alan Ames has never studied Philosophy, Theology or Mariology. Analysing this book, I did not find anything which offends or obscures the teaching of the Church with regard to faith or morals. No wonder he has the permission of our Archbishop of Perth [Australia] to speak in halls or churches, wherever he is invited to go.
In his writings, Alan often says "Our Mother Mary told me to write this", or "Jesus Christ inspired me to describe such and such a thought".
He is often helped by The Son Jesus, The Father and The Holy Spirit. Alan’s words or writings come spontaneously from his genuine heart that only a man of God or a man of prayer can arrive at to such an extent.
His presence, while talking publicly, attracts a large number of faithful and sceptical people who come to listen to what he says. Similarly through his writings there have been conversions as he and his beloved wife were not so long ago. As a holy man, Alan is also gifted by God while praying over people.
I encourage people to read whatever Alan has already published, but in a special way this book, that I have read very closely has greatly increased my spirituality. May God and Mary bless you all.
‘It seems then that mankind is lost in sin, for most either sin, live in sin, accept sin or ignore sin. Most no longer see sin as sin but just see it as part of life or part of man’s search for his destiny. Sin becomes a partner to many in life and becomes a chain to many in death.
Sin has grasped the world in its hands and the world in its weakness and blindness welcomes it. Mankind closes its hearts to love and goodness and opens its hearts to sin and suffering.
Over centuries sin grows and grows, it never really changes. It is the same sin now as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah; it is the same sin now as in the days of Moses; it is the same sin just under different names with different reasons for accepting it.
Sin is in the very air you breath, the food you eat, the drugs you abuse yourselves with, the so-called love you have in immoral relationships; the contraception and abortion you use to gain a better life on earth, the wars mankind has either in so called justice or in hate; the killing of the young and the old, the killing of the disabled or infirmed, the killing of those who want what you have; the changing of creation to suit mankind’s needs, the altering of God’s design for the world, the denial of God and the rejection of God’s commandments.
The world swims in sin, the world opens its arms and embraces the evil one and his servants. The world has been warned over and over again, it has been shown the results of sin with all the wars, famines, plagues and disasters that occur and yet still it embraces and welcomes sin. Many in the world become Satan’s slaves knowingly or unknowingly.
The Lord your God now asks mankind to reassess how it lives, how it exists. Reassess what it accepts and what it denies, what it adopts as its laws and what it enforces upon itself. Mankind needs to think long and hard about what it invites upon itself and what it will do when payment is demanded.
Your God asks you to look to His Son, Jesus, look to your Saviour, your Redeemer and ask for His mercy.
Those who live in sin, live immorally, commit immoral acts, break God’s commandments, spurn God, deny God and destroy themselves must take a moment and look at their lives; take a moment and look at their sins and take a moment and look at their future, then decide if they wish to live life eternal in joy and love or in pain and suffering.
Those who make the right choice and turn to Jesus for His forgiveness will find it waiting for them. Jesus longs to help all of God’s children, His children. Jesus longs to help, just ask Him, just ask Him.
