Sinopsis
Welcome to Your Path by The Most Reverend Mark D. Manning, D.D., Pastor of Dallas Universal Life Church in Dallas, Texas. Religion has earned a bad name because humanity is involved and with humanity comes mistakes and corruption. Sometimes we have to take things with a grain of salt. God gave us brain for a reason; to be inquisitive, question truths and decide for ourselves what is and isn't truth. When that doesn't work, PRAY the right way. Prayer is not a monologue, so say what you have to say then shut up and listen. Do this and you don't need a book. Just have a conversation with God.
