Introduction

The official edition of this book will soon be available at a bookshop near you. It celebrates the 4900th year anniversary of Luo as select lineage of God and most significantly proclaims the resurrection of Christ as son of God and first light of humanity.

Luo beginnings as Luo specifically date from the 7th generation for she was before. read more
