My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
My faith in Christ has impacted my life in that it has given me a measuring rod to live my life by.
I have gone through an intense crisis of faith a few years back and like many others was disillusioned by organized religion (church), which shattered my christian world view and made me lose my orientation.
Consequently, this left me in state of disorientation. I am not completely there yet, but I am on the road to healing, and re-orientation of my christian belief system.
Through all of this, the one thing (or person) that has been a constant in my life was (and is) Jesus Christ. Although I am still working through many issues and find myself 'somewhere in-between Francis of Assisi and Howard Stern on the morality scale' (a quote I stole fom Mel Gibson), I hang on to God's grace like an Alabama tick.
Well, that's me in a nutshell.

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
