Last year I was searching for one theme that would be woven through the Gospels of which, undeniably, love was at the base of them all. In my investigation, I discovered a lot of contributing themes that were hidden just beneath the surface, so I thought I would get out my spiritual shovel and start digging. And when I did, I discovered hidden treasures.

On days when you just need a pick me up, this book will get your mind off your depression or challenges. Some readers say it's inspirational and will reveal ah-ha moments right before your eyes.

Just the other day I was challenging myself concerning the next music release, which entails a new genre of music for our kids and grandkids. I was so overwhelmed by the challenge that I forgot who the real source of my success is. I started flipping through this book and ran into the exact story I needed to continue down this road.

We still have to do the work, but it's as if the huge door in front of us have hands on ours, helping to push. So that's what you will experience as the ground around you becomes unearthed and you will find hidden treasures in your field.

I recently discovered the ERV (Easy Reading Version). It breaks the verses down to more of a digestible language. There is nothing worse than to read a whole chapter and then start scratching your head wondering, What did He say?

I love following our Savior's example of storytelling, so I have lots of stories, experiences, and testimonials woven throughout a book of memoirs.

I pray this experience will help you see a fresh new side of Jesus and find hidden treasures in your field.

Since 1999, my father started encouraging Leon to write a book. He would say, "If you've got something to say, write it down." Well this book is a product of that encouragement and a true "Treasure" indeed.

"Leon brought the Gospel..."

DR. WAYNE CORDEIRO

Leon Patillo's life is a true "God story." His music, love for Jesus and zest for life are interwoven into a multicolored tapestry of miracles and grace. I have known Leon for many years. He has ministered at our church and college, and each time, he has left behind a lasting shimmer of God's beauty and grace. His life is a testimony of a man sold-out to the King of Kings!
