Nelson Canha
I was born on the island of Madeira, in the capital Funchal. Moved to South Africa due to parents moving here [I was three years old]. I am self-employed and decided to write books because I am a born-again Christian and I discovered that God gave me a gift to write. Today I am a 5 star rated author with a 5 star rated book in the pile, and awaiting rating on the other books.I belong to Real Life Church, in Krugersdorp, 30km west of Johannesburg. I decided to write about God's Word and this is why I'm now here, publishing eBooks for now. I'm busy authoring my next two eBooks, coming soon. Watch this site for more soon! My latest book, the 5 star rated The Good News published June 2017... making it 5 books published already...

I dedicate this book, my first, to …
Our Lord Jesus Christ, for having been there for me, patiently awaiting my return to His ways and will in the new
life. I exalt and praise Him and rejoice in His company - my New Covenant Partner and Saviour, who is first priority in my life, being my Resource and Guide for this book.
For standing by me, my wife Ansa. May the Lord bless you for being so supportive. To my children, Chá-Mari and Jeân, with the love of God, that they always be blessed in everything they do. To Pastors Pat and Louisa Moffat [now retired], the then Morning Light Church leaders, AOG Krugersdorp, for their guidance and mentoring that realized the renewal and change in my life. To my parents, for their support in my Christian endeavours and new life with the Lord. To my relatives. God bless you all. Live in His will.
To Billy Verster, the Dean of the Bible School at the time, a brother of strength who taught me and was my guide in my knowledge-growth period. To all my brothers and sisters,
for caring and supporting me. May His blessings increase upon your lives. To all my brothers and sisters
now residing in other countries. Thank you for building me up to here. I am now enjoying life in His glory.
To Pastors Noel and Zelda Wood, the new leaders, Real Life Church, AOG Krugersdorp [ex Morning Light]. Thank you for the blessings and support and prayers over my life. May God take you both and your family from strength to strength.
God bless you all.
Chapter 1
In The Beginning
The first thing most people will be saying is that this is another boring book. Yes, for those who don’t know our Lord Jesus Christ, it may sound boring, maybe even a waste of time. Unfortunately, many are lost in sin and the world’s standards rule them. These standards are "driven" by the devil. He was the most beautiful angel in heaven, called Lucifer, but he tried to become mightier than God. What happened next? He was thrown out of heaven with a third of the angels. These angels were his followers and worshipped him and not God. The devil became known to mankind as Satan.
Look into your mind’s eye and imagine a world without sin – a perfect world. A PERFECT world? What would such a world be like? What would it have been like to live in such a world … PERFECT? Salvation acceptance is the way we will be able to live our worldly life and one day be able to enter into heaven, to live a new life in eternity, a life where God’s riches will become our life’s treasures. This is where life actually begins, through the acceptance salvation.
Where do we start? How about the beginning? Everything has a beginning and an end to it. But life after death on earth never ends. All this because of the Gift of Salvation offered to us by God the almighty Father of the heavens and the earth, the Creator of everything we can see and cannot see, through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
– Genesis 1:1-2
This is where it all began. The earth was formed and created by God. Have you ever driven around the country side on a weekend, maybe taking the family for a picnic? What do you see? I used to work at a satellite tracking station a few kilometers west of Johannesburg. For approximately 12 years I drove out to this station situated in the hills away from the bustle of the city. What did I see? I saw beauty in every direction I looked. An earth that was dark and formless, now filled with God’s beauty as He added to it. Before empty – now filled with His glory.
Seven days later and everything was completed. On the seventh day He rested. But before He completed everything, on the sixth day He made man according to His image, He made man and thereafter woman as his companion. He told them to live a righteous life and to multiply; be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.
[Genesis 1:28a]. And creation was complete, with animals, birds and fish in the sea. Now you must be wondering what all this has to do with salvation. How will you understand it unless you know where it all began? God told Adam and Eve to never eat from the tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden. But the serpent was the craftiest of all the wild animals that God had created. Something happened at this point in time. The devil was already wandering the earth and he was not happy that God was mightier than he was.
The tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was at the centre of this garden. The serpent "convinced" Eve to try out the fruit from that tree and so she did. She ate of the forbidden fruit from that tree and later she told Adam to eat of this fruit as well, explaining to him what the serpent had told her.
The rest of the story you know by now. They disobeyed God and sin took hold of mankind. The devil had his hand in the pie of life.
The devil caused Adam and Eve to sin. This is where it all began! Adam and Eve were now filled with knowledge and wisdom and they knew much more than they had known before eating from the fruit of that tree. God was angry and He cast them out of the Garden of Eden. He placed cherubim to
