I called this Finding Truth In Religion, A perspective of Christian and Muslim life but I could just as easily called it a Muslims path to Christianity. I believe this because of what I have learned from The Holy Quran. It teaches that Jesus was just as pure as the Bible teaches he is. There is no difference. The difference comes from the way people are taught and interpret the scriptures. Most Muslims are taught to ignore the teachings of the Bible because it is corrupt and that Christians are evil and that they all worship three Gods. But this is contrary of what the servant Muhammad taught them. He told them to look to the Christians for answers when they were confused. He said that he was not bringing a new religion but only confirming that which the Christians already had. The problem is not so much with modern day Christians but with the early church of Rome that rewrote scripture to fit their society. No one can change the word of God and the truth will always come forth no matter how much man tries to bury it. I believe that most Christians today know the truth, that there is only one God.

A COUNTRY HOME
A short description of the home and life that Glenn Madden was raised up in.

CHRISTMAS MORNINGS AND SANTA CLAUSE
A childhood memory and a later understanding of Christmas.

SALVATION
Salvation is free for the asking. How to find the way was laid out by Jesus, just ask. God is a most merciful God and forgives all whom look to him for forgiveness.

MY DOUBTS
Through my studies I became less sure that Jesus was 100% responsible for my sins instead of believing more strongly.

CHILDHOOD REMINISCES
Most of my childhood was uneventful. I will mention a few that stand out particularly strong in my mind.

SCHOOL DAYS
Starting school was fun and it was a simple time in my life. What has happened to the school system? Why is it so full of violence today?
