Book Cover & Preview Text
This book is about my educational studies at five academic and research institutions that trained and equipped me for a professional career in entomology. Sadly, because of a crisis beyond human tolerance in my life, I was unable to realize my dream of having a productive career. My ordeal started with the sudden onset of eye problems and inflammation of my lymph nodes shortly after I had knee surgery at the University of Flatland Hospital in January 1983. Subsequently, the immigration department used my health problems to declare that I was inadmissible to Multizone. The department mistreated me prior to my becoming a citizen of Multizone.

About the Book
More Than I Can Bear If Not for God is part autobiography and mostly personal memoir of the author and his family. The tragedy that destabilized and tested the faith of the author and his family in God is discussed. The valuable lessons of leaning on God in the face of conflict with his academic mentor, medical doctors, and the immigration authorities, strengthened their relationship and trust in God. The family’s ordeal devastated them and revealed to them that the events and trials they dealt with were proof of God’s power and ability to purify believers, even through the fiery oven, for the glory and fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose.
