Book Cover & Preview Text
One day God opened the mind of Vitaly Ozernyy, a physicist and avowed atheist. He says, “I sincerely believed that you do not exist. I remember these words. I sincerely believed that you do not exist. Excuse me! Not forgive my sins. But excuse me that I did not believe that you are. . . . I said, ‘Oh, God, exists! Wow!” Vitaly tells of his miraculous conversion, similar to the one the Apostle Paul had on the road to Damascus. Vitaly later quit his job as a physicist to work full time as a missionary in classrooms across Ukraine. He realized that anyone can teach students physics, but who will tell them how to avoid the pitfalls of drugs, alcohol and premarital sex?
