ABOUT THE BOOK
In an age that insists nothing exists beyond the material, one man’s life tells a different story.
Ransomed is the true account of a young man’s confrontation with the unseen realm—an experience that shattered his assumptions about reality, truth, and meaning. Enduring years of spiritual oppression, he embarked on a relentless search for answers, ultimately encountering the transformative power of Christ in a way he could not explain away.
Written for both thoughtful Christians and honest skeptics, Ransomed goes beyond personal testimony. Mark R. Schneider offers a clear and accessible defense of the biblical worldview, addressing common objections to faith while exploring the deeper implications of a universe charged with spiritual significance.
Challenging the modern denial of God, purpose, and moral truth, Ransomed argues that every human being is caught in a spiritual conflict—and that freedom, meaning, and joy are found not through self-discovery, but through redemption.
If you’ve ever wondered whether there is more to reality than what science alone can measure, this story demands your attention.

“An inspiring journey of faith sharing one man’s encounter with the infinite, holy, loving God. Mark leaves the reader with much more than an electrifying testimony. He masterfully delivers a rational defense of the faith that is both convincing and relatable.”

Is the Church in America still considered relevant? Does it have a mission beyond evangelism? What is the Church’s responsibility to a culture that is indifferent or even hostile to Biblical truth?
That Jesus refers to Christians as “salt” and “light” is a profound revelation, signifying both great privilege and great responsibility. This calling applies to Believers in every age. Describing what this calling means, in practical terms, is the purpose of a Manual for Christian Citizenship.
