The Beginning Will Not Determine the Ending

About the Book

God’s limited free will allows us, as human beings, to make many decisions and choices during our lifetime while here on earth. Once you reach your age of accountability, you begin to choose your friends, clothes to wear, food to eat, and places to visit. Later on, we can choose careers to pursue, schools to attend, lifetime mates, and where we want to live. Unfortunately for us, we cannot determine where we begin. We cannot choose where and to whom we are born. For if Ronnie McCain could have, I’m sure she would not have chosen to be born to an unwed sixteen-year-old in a small county town, not knowing who her biological father was.
