Pedro Torres Pereira

From God's Perspective I want to be a loser Pedro Torres Pereira

My first memory of Pedro Torres was when I heard him teaching about the book of Revelation in the adult class at Tabernacle of Life Church in Houston, TX. I remember that I was only about thirteen years old and was puzzled to hear so much biblical knowledge coming out of this human being.
Two decades have passed since that first meeting, and I am still stunned to hear his teachings. For unknown reasons, I thought that the book would not have the same impact as hearing his ministry "in live"; but let me assure you that this book did not disappoint me. In this book, my friend, Pedro Torres, delights us with the thought that in God's strategic plan, losing is winning. What a great paradox!
The world would like to win, but God indicates in his Word that if we want to win, we must lose first. In other words, the real winner is the person who becomes a "loser". I believe that every reader should memorize and share the concept of this book in order to deal with the problems of two specific groups: Christian youth and unsaved youth.
The first group, Christian youth, tend to lose confidence and security in their lifestyle when they are called "losers" because of their Christian beliefs. This book will help you regain your confidence by reminding you that the opinion that counts is not the world's but God's.
The second group, the unconverted, needs to hear this message of denial. The concept of God is one of extended gratification. Jesus said: "Because whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and everyone who loses his life for the sake of me, and the Gospel will save it".
Finally, I ask God to help us better understand the concepts in this book so that we can confidently announce to our generation that we are "losers," but we are not lost. God bless you and enjoy the book.
