This book
didn't leave me alone! 
"When I read these words, I wept, for all my life I had struggled.
From my earliest childhood, my life was marked by disappointment. Unloved by my parents, I wanted to find love in the world. I sought happiness in music and drugs. I was employed in a local authority office, and outwardly everything was in order. But inside me was the hell of heroin addiction.
One day, I was arrested and imprisoned in Munich. The doctors thought I wouldn't survive. I was full of drugs and had bad jaundice. But God saved me from death. After a dreadful week, I survived the physical detox, but went on with my life as before. Until I found a Bible. I put it in the back of my cell, determined not to read it.
Strangely enough, that book in my cupboard wouldn't leave me alone. Finally, I picked it up, opened it, and what I read shocked me. It says that God is the Lord, the King. He is the Lord, strong and mighty, mighty in battle. And it says that this Lord is my helper; I shall not be afraid psalm 25, psalm 118.
When I read these words, I cried, because all my life I had struggled to find attention and love.Then I prayed: “God, if you really want to fight for me, then I want to come to you”; That was in August 1986. Since then, I've come to know God better, and He has delivered me. I'm grateful to Him from the bottom of my heart.
