The author's life began in India. In the forties, the family moved to the wild west of Australia. Due to being teased in school, Chalmers' self-esteem started out very low. But by the time he graduated, his grades were good enough for a medical or science degree. After getting some technical training in the national service, he found he loved science, especially chemistry, and working with rocks and minerals. Research was his forte, though. It paid better, and he now had a wife and three children to provide for. He was fortunate enough to become involved in several significant projects and grants, including research on Xylitol and HIV. He also wrote many research papers.
But only telling of his success would be remiss. As he candidly records, he had an affair in 1976 that broke up his family and almost ended in suicide. A deliverance ministry saved his life and turned it around for God. A longing to know more about the one who saved him resulted in a new direction. The result was being on fire for God and in awe of his handiwork.
Chalmers believes he has been given many insights into God's workings by devoting himself to a spiritual life, and he shares these thought-provoking revelations with readers. For example, only one man and one woman produced the world population because they left the garden mutation free. Alien abductions are only reported by those who do not worship God. Additionally, the seriousness of sin is seen in current media topics that discuss gender, abortion, and prostitution. Readers who enjoy autobiographies dealing with a person's spiritual redemption may find much to like in this book.
