One, to improve the Christians walk by eliminating concepts and ideologies of who Jesus Christ is, thus improving the Christian's walk with God. Two, to help non-Christians have a better understanding of who they are and why God wants them in His kingdom. Figueroa hopes that readers discover how much delight Jesus has in them according to Proverbs 8:31, and how precious they are to God according to Psalms 139:17 and 18. Also to discover the mysteries of wisdom that God wants to impart to them in achieving a successful walk with Him, despite the trials and disappointments that life brings us. This wisdom also gives readers knowledge of who the enemy is, and how to overcome him.
