    The opening words of his book, “Life is a series of decisions” (Dr. Kent Ingle, 2013), accurately describes his view.

These doors, according to Dr. Kent Ingle, are God’s way of providing a call to adventure. With these calls, one has two options: they can say yes to the call or they can deny the call. Either way, the decision is their own.…

However, people also have the opportunity to dissuade others from doing the right thing. In The Weight of Glory, C.S. Lewis emphasizes that human interactions can affect eternal life.…
