Restoring the Seventh Color is the prologue, the back story, the origin story, and the beginning of a journey—the start of the final chapter of the life of Benjamin Kareth. This book is my story.

I was pulled by God from the darkness of living for myself, when he told me to “Listen and obey.” This is what God does, the living God. He chooses us, pulls us up and out of our selfish lives, and sets our feet on the solid rock of salvation bought and paid for by his living son, Jesus Christ.

Experience my journey of faith and obedience as I travel from a parking lot in Hilton Head, North Carolina to San Francisco, California. Listening and obeying will take you on the journey of a lifetime—always forward, always closer, always higher—to the path that the living God has planned for us all.

This is a book about purpose and destiny colliding. It is also a formal written statement as evidence or proof that the existence or appearance of something as a public recounting of my own personal experiences. So I, Benjamin Kareth, formally known as Daniel Kole, formally known as Nathaniel Adleta, present this formal written statement of this book as evidence of the existence of Almighty God, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

This book stands as evidence of my personal relationship with a loving God who wants a personal relationship with us all individually. It is a recounting of my personal relationship with God, a recounting of my “listening and obeying” to the voice of my God. The events in this book are my own experiences and the witnesses of others to those experiences.

You, the listener, now stand as a witness to this formal written statement. Judge as you may. This is my offering to my God. My life. I was created by him, for him, and in him I live and breathe. To him be all glory, all power, and all honor!

Who do you serve? Who do you belong to? Where do you stand? When the lines are drawn, what side do you fall on?
