Buddhist turns to Jesus Christ
Jim Stevens was on a pilgrimage to
find truth. In his search he turned to Nichiren Shoshu
Buddhism. You will read about the shocking reaction
of his fellow Buddhists when he had a serious accident,
and when he and other followers began asking questions
about Buddhist teachings and practices. You will also
learn how the power of prayer by a Christian friend
led Jim out of the coldness of Buddhism into the warm,
waiting arms of Jesus Christ. From the Christian Research
Newsletter, Volume 3: Number 1, 1990.
