We now live in a culture that has removed God from the head of the table to a place where we can only see him in our rearview or peripheral vision. This world has accepted the finite wisdom of this world's system and has challenged the infinite hope in Jesus Christ.

This book encapsulates a personal experience that parallels the metamorphosis of the caterpillar to the butterfly. This book provides a spiritual-expected challenge at each phase of the metamorphosis that will add virtue to the believer's faith. The gates of Nehemiah were used to parallel the order of God's spiritual growth as the believer saunters through the events of the metamorphosis of the caterpillar to the butterfly.

The word of God commands believers to be transformed-not adding to one's religious devotion or one's spiritual rituals, not providing a better version of oneself, which is no change but starting anew (change in nature).

The intent of this book is to identify the believer's whereabouts in their transformation and provide future challenges in preparation for Christ's return to his church.

THIS BOOK IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE:

- a visual of the transformation of a believer's development process as it

parallels the butterfly metamorphosis process;

- a processing map for believers to identify what phase of the

metamorphosis has been completed in their lives and how much is

required to reach spiritual adulthood;

- a developmental process for transformation by renewing one's mind and

identifying themselves through the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
