Growing Up

Most of my life I deceived myself by thinking that I was Godly because I was a "good kid." And yet, as the apostle John wrote, "If we claim fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth." I walked in that darkness for quite a while, but my life has been a journey out of that, a journey into the light of Jesus Christ. My parents named me "Troy," which means "warrior." In a way, this book is about the battles I have faced - physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is the story of my personal growth, and my hope, my sincere prayer, is that it will help you grow, too.
