John A. Woolwine is a follower of Jesus Christ whose life has been shaped by Scripture, repentance, and the grace of God. Though raised around the church and active in ministry for many years, he came to understand that religious activity alone is no substitute for true, regenerating faith. Through the convicting and life-giving work of the Holy Spirit, God brought him from spiritual death to new life in Christ.John writes with pastoral clarity and a deep commitment to the authority of Scripture, seeking to help readers understand the true message of salvation, avoid false assurance, and rest confidently in the finished work of Christ. He lives in Ohio with his wife and is grateful for their children and grandchildren, for whom this book was prayerfully written.
