I have known Omar Luther King for more than 40 years. We have both been members of The Apostles Methodist Church all these years. In fact he was the first person I met in the Church when I first attended the Church in October 1982. It was a Sunday and Omar had shared his testimony from the pulpit. After we met there was an immediate rapport between us as both came to know our Lord and Saviour from different backgrounds, he from a Muslim and I from a Hindu background. Since then he, his wife, Roma, sons Amit and Aman and my late wife, Ragini, and our son Akshay developed close friendship.

I have known Omar to be a person who truly loves Jesus as would be obvious when one reads his book ‘365 Episodes’. He has a passion for people from his own background to personally know the Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. This passion is reflected in the book and in Omar’s daily life. He lives for Jesus and so also his family.

The book ‘365 Episodes’ begins with a Bible verse for each episode and the content which follows relates to Omar’s personal life so one can understand how each Bible verse pertains to practical Christian living. God’s Word needs to be not just read, heard and understood rather lived out in this world even though it’s a wicked world. God helps us live out what he instructs us to do. The main theme of the Bible is God’s love for us and how we also ought to love one another as He has loved us. This is also Omar’s personal passion to love others as God loves him. Having known him closely for more than 40 years I can testify that what Omar believes and preaches he practices.

Each episode needs to be read slowly, meditated upon and applied in practical life to experience the full blessings of a life pleasing to God.
