"Even this Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the staff upon which the Nation shall lean, and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction."
This quote was from a discourse by Joseph Smith Jr. (the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) on July 19, 1840, as reported by Martha Jane Knowlton. Martha Jane was a recent convert to the Church. She was so convinced of Joseph's prophetic calling that she recorded every discourse she heard him deliver.
Born 120 years later, Christopher David Borcik, also a convert to the Church at the age of 32, lived an ordinary life by worldly standards until he experienced an event in 1995 that changed the course of his life. It was not the first experience that altered the direction of his life, but one that he is ready to share publicly and could impact you!
The common thread between Chris' experience and the prophetic utterance by Joseph Smith is the United States Constitution. Article II, Section 1, clause 5 reads, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
The event that Chris candidly shares occurred the same year he "attained to the Age of thirty-five Years" making him "eligible to that Office." Concerned for the direction of our nation, with a strong sense of duty, Chris shares many of his life's experiences that have molded and shaped his character which he believes is the most important criteria you and I need to look for when evaluating candidates for the "Office of President."
He also shares some insights that he labels, the "most important" subjects of this book which impact you and me, but few people understand.
