Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Kingdom of Heaven I Believe! Those were the first words I said on this earth. But I said them at a time when I could not speak, and at a time when I could not believe - as a newborn infant. I then took upon myself a serious vow to resist the devil and to believe in God as the Almighty Creator and Redeemer. By this vow I received baptism, and became a Christian. Is that a legal compact? I ask the lawyers who, in matters relating to the law, require a personal affirmation and signature; I ask the moralists who, in regard to all human acts, good and bad, take consciousness and free-will for granted. I ask: Is it a legal compact that the Church makes with the ignorant child? Nay, I do not consider that to be binding which my godfather promised on my behalf. I could not believe solely, because he affirmed in my name: "I believe." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
