Forget Me Not:
Determined That I Would Live My Life as God Intended is an inspirational story chronicling
how John Benton, using the counsel of a soft whispering voice called Forget Me
Not, returned to the Christian faith after years of wandering. John Benton turned
away from the Christian religion after being humiliated and put in a life
threatening situation by white men in downtown Naples, Texas in 1942. Reverend Billy Graham says this voice who counseled
and guided him back, Forget Me Not, is “not an impersonal force like gravity or
magnetism. He is a person with all the attributes of personality. But He is not
only a person. He is Divine.”
Readers will find themselves caught up in unforeseen and
unexpected life changing experiences, be exposed to spiritual enlightenment,
and have the opportunity to witness the truthfulness of divine intervention and
the graciousness of a loving and caring God. These experiences and revelations
in combination enable the novel to be of value to Christians and non Christians
alike. Finally, people searching for answers regarding the dichotomy of
Christians doing good and evil and desirous of living a life on earth as God intended
will find the novel beneficial.
