While there will never be a time like the present, the past has lessons and the future holds hope. Joshua Philipsen's past and optimism for his future led him to write The Book of Truth, in hopes that it will help others in the same situation look toward their own futures with hope. Through his rocky childhood in a broken home and a witness to the suffering of his family members, he has learned to follow God's will one step at a time, knowing that even as life puts obstacles in his path, God is there to help him overcome.
