Grateful Beyond Words:

Adriana’s Touching Review of My Book

God has a way of connecting us with people who Bless our lives in ways we never expect. Recently, I was humbled by a heartfelt review of my book Take Me Out With the Crowd written by Adriana 🙏 Her words touched me deeply and I thank the Lord for crossing our paths, I want to share her beautiful review here and also highlight her inspiring blog Expansão e Percepção

If you know me by now and have been following my blog, you know I am a very insecure person 😅 I often feel discouraged and don’t think too highly of myself or even my writing 😳 I guess I shouldn’t be so insecure, considering that most of what I share here I feel and believe comes from God 🙏 I’m not that creative HaHa 😄 … But today I have the joy of highlighting someone special, someone who gave me the greatest and most heartfelt review 💌


On my last review, I highlighted some special people, and one in particular was Mags 💖 I don’t know what I have done to deserve such blessings and kind-hearted people in my life 😇 but I want you to know that if I have mentioned you and highlighted you in any of my posts, it shows that I am truly grateful 🙏 You are not just a friend 💛 you are family and a special part of my life 🦁🦊.


Sometimes my discouragement comes from friends and family whose encouragement I seek but don’t always receive 😔 I know it may sound petty or childish, but if you are a writer or an author, I’m sure you can relate ✍️ We long for Recognition and acknowledgment, especially from those close to us, When I receive a Blessing like this from you all, it warms my heart ❤️ and sparks a flame that leads me to Pray and thank God for placing you all on this path, in this blog, and in my heart 🙏


So once again I say thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛 for being a Blessing, a Saint 😇 and for allowing me to call you family 🦁…

Today’s joy and blessing is Adriana ✨💌


I’d love to take a moment to highlight her beautiful blog: Expansão e Percepção. It is filled with wisdom, depth, and heartfelt reflections that uplift the soul. If you haven’t visited yet, I encourage you to do so, you’ll be blessed.

Adriana, I don’t even know where to begin… your review left me completely humbled and in tears. I am not one to cry easily, but your words touched my heart so deeply that I couldn’t hold them back. The way you captured the heart of Take Me Out With The Crowd was overwhelming, and I am so incredibly thankful that God placed you in my life.

Your kindness, your insight, and your encouragement are more than a Blessing, they are a beautiful reminder of why I continue to write and share what He places in my heart. I thank God every day that our paths have crossed, and I am truly grateful for you, Adriana.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your review, your friendship, and your support.

You are a gift beyond words 🙏🦁🦊🌌👧🤗


You Are Loved.

Willie Torres

    Thank you, Willie, for sharing so honestly—your humility and transparency make your words all the more meaningful. I can relate to feeling insecure at times, but it’s often that very vulnerability that lets us connect most deeply with others. What a beautiful reminder of how God uses our authentic, imperfect voices to bring encouragement and light to someone else’s path. Your post today pointed me back to that truth in such a tender way. Keep writing—even in those moments of doubt—because the impact is real, and you are deeply appreciated.

    Thank you, my friend Willie, for the beautiful message in this text. I believe that all of us who connect here were already connected in some way before we “disembarked” on this earthly journey. Reconnecting again to spread “light” is a gift, without a doubt. These are dark times in the world; we need to support one another. May God continue to bless your life, Willie. Don’t be discouraged by family neglect. I face this too, I know what it’s like. But strength only comes from above. Thank you for the text!🙂✋🏻✨🌌✍🏻🦊🦁📚

    Your heartfelt gratitude for Adriana’s review shows an authentic humility that you don’t see much of today. You may not receive affirmation and recognition from those you would want to hear from–like Jesus, when He wasn’t valued in his own village. But those who read your work are impacted and influenced by it. Keep it up, my friend. God has given you a gift.

    Ohja lieber Willie, ich verstehe dich nur zu gut. Dankbarkeit ist ein Ausdruck des Verstanden sein, ein Gefühl des Miteinander. Aber wenn die Dankbarkeit ausbleibt ist es auch egal, da sie in unserer Welt sowieso ein seltenes Gut ist. Gott sieht die Schönheit deiner Seele immer, das darf man nicht vergessen.

I get it about desiring recognition and positive comments as an author, but I think you’re well-established as a gifted writer in the WP community.

      משנה תורה קידושין אב משנה

      On the opening sugya of this the first published commentary upon this specific Mesechta; in this opening public learning of the Talmud, my opening thesis stands and accuses the ראשונים חכמים of the Capital Crime דיני נפשות crime of עבודה זרה – the 2nd Sinai commandment. Based upon גט גירושין, an Av time-oriented mitzva from the Torah. Therefore (this word employs a רמז of swearing a Torah oath), denigrating an Av tohor time oriented Torah commandment prostituted to a rabbinic positive commandment which does not require k’vanna (קידושין the דיוק of גט גירושין), the av tumah perversion of T’NaCH/Talmudic משנה תורה\common law unto Greek/Roman statute halachic law. Avoda zarah statute law determines the posok halacha, based upon cults of personality, like as represented in the statute Tur and Shulkan Aruch codes, rather than Gemara halachic בניני אבות\precedents which serve to make a different perspective reading of the language of this the Av Mishna of קידושין. This sh’itta of Reshonim g’lut scholarship merits a direct Torah curse rather than a blessing. Therefore, this Talmudic commentary calls for a Sanhedrin common law court to judge this dispute made against Reshonim Talmudic scholarship upon the both the T’NaCH & the Talmud – accused of the At tuma דיני נפשות crime of avoda zarah — enforced by NaCH prophetic mussar prophets/police of Sanhedrin Court Torah mandated Constitutional authority to enforce judicial rulings made by the Federal Sanhedrin Courtrooms.

      Obviously, to publicly call for the restoration of common law/Legislative Review of Reshonim statute halachic law openly blesses the Zionist success who rose our people out of the European ashes of Shoah, after that Wilderness generations Orthodox rabbinic spies melted the heart of that generations which resulted in the Torah plague curse, known as Chamberlain’s White Paper public betrayal of the Balfour Declaration. That this false oath, comparable to the floods which destroyed the generation of Noach, obliterated and caused the Sun to permanently set upon the British empire. That dead empire gone the way of the dead Assyrian, Babylonian, Roman, Islamic, Mongrel, Ottoman, Austria-Hungarian, Japanese, 3rd Reich, French, British, and USSR, defunct empires that together with the Roman Protocols of the Elders of Zionism NT forgery as dead as the trinity God created through the Nicene Council dogma decree of statute law, together with the Av tuma avoda zarah Allah Golden Calf God which translates the שם השם First Commandment Spirit Name unto the degraded אלהים word translation of Allah. Therefore, the Siddur openly instructs the mussar that Torah oaths can Create יש מאין, תמיד מעשה בראשית מלאכים. Av tuma avoda zarah profanes with the lie that theology and creeds can create Gods either through council or by way of Angels! The latter a perversion equal to profaning Av tohor time oriented Torah commandments unto positive rabbinic mitzvot which do not require k’vanna.

      משנה תורה — קידושין סוגיה א

      Sugya integrity represents the נפש יסודי מלאכתך wherein bnai brit Jews dedicate positive mitzvot and halachot unto קום ועשה – זימן גרמא מצוות דאורייתא המלאכים החיים — תמיד מעשה בראשית — בצלום אלהים זימן גרמא מלאכים נברא. A radical Torah spirituality that no pervert statute halachic code ever even once communicated. Comparable to the cold hard fact that the Goyim bible and koran av tuma avoda zarah never once bring the שם השם לשמה. Hence these course “Protocols of the Elders of Zionism” counterfeit fraud religions view Angels as some God sent messenger rather than a bnei brit messenger through which Israel dominates our World; av tuma avoda zarah alway oblivious to tohor vs. tuma middot spirits. The former quickens the Yatzir Ha’Tov whereas the latter breaths death into the Yatzir Ha’Raw within the heart.

      The creation of מלאכים through Torah sworn oath time oriented Av commandments, the genius how to control and dominate the Created World. Healing disease in medicine, technological advancements in science etc., all the result of tohor oath sworn time oriented Av commandments which create מלאכים יש מאין, like the chosen Cohen people תמיד מעשה בראשית נברא יש מאין.

      The av tuma haters of Israel, easily discernable: they seek power over justice; view Jews as a Race rather than the spiritual consequences of oath sworn time oriented Av commandments; T’NaCH as history rather than spirituality which instructs equally applicable to all generations – prophetic mussar. These av tuma religious frauds view reality based upon a static rather than interpreted through dynamic ever-changing subtle always changing perspectives.

      The genius of Talmudic sugya integrity, it permits a down stream scholar who respects sugya integrity to made logical deductions, something akin to a thesis statement term paper English 101: Thesis Statement ~~ specific details which nail down the general clause made by the Thesis Statement ~~ Re-stated Thesis Statement shaped and influenced by the 3 or more specific details contained within the body of the paragraph. The Order of this type of writing discipline resembles sonnets of poetry literature.

      Sonnets often explore universal themes, such as “love”, “nature”, “time”, or “morality”. William Shakespeare known to have written 154 sonnets. John Milton’s sonnets, quite often weighed political or spiritual themes. A Gemara sugya, this author suggests compares to a sonnet that has 14 lines of poetry. Obviously sugya integrity – not a sonnet.

      Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” and a 14-line sonnet exemplify the rich diversity of poetry, but they differ significantly in form, structure, and thematic focus. The latter type of poetry explores ‘free verse’ that has no specific line length or meter. It resembles a collage of poems. Whitman celebrates himself, together with his expansive view of democracy and nature which reflect the vivid nature of late 19th Century American life-styles. Radically different from the Utilitarian writings of Jeremy Bentham or John Stuart Mill.

      Eras radically changed the style of literature expressed. Late 18th – mid-19th Century Romanticism to 1830s – 1860s Transcendentalism to mid-19th Century Realism to late 19th Century Naturalism etc. This same trend separates the Yerushalmi Talmud from the Bavli Talmud like day different from night. None the less, the fact that the sugya of Gemara fixed, it becomes ideal to study this common law Jewish literature by means of making deductive syllogism specific comparison with the opening vs. closing communications of a sugya.

      This establishes a “sh’itta” or line of reasoning, akin to the opening and closing statement made by a thesis statement paragraph. The body of any Gemara sugya raises points or issues which by logical deductive syllogism reason must fall somewhere along the line which connects the opening thesis statement with the closing re-statement of the same thesis statement proven as valid based upon the evidence of the details contained within the body of the paragraph.

      Talmudic study follows this כלל: First Order then Speed. The common law specifics within a Gemara sugya follow the middot established by both rabbis Yishmael and Yossi HaGalili two sets of logical middot which permit the down stream generations the skills required to compare Case/Din to similar Case/Din different halacha rulings. Interpreting poetry in like fashion requires scholars to compare poetry with other poetry. This comparison permits scholars to separate and order literature into separate writing styles as mentioned above.

      G’lut Yeshiva institutions of learning slavishly learn only the simple פשט of Jewish classic literature. No effort does g’lut religious rabbis, strive to discern between authors who wrote common law halachic commentaries from authors who wrote statute law halachic commentaries. Despite the simple fact that judicial common law courtroom authority establishes the Law of the country of Israel; having the Constitutional Torah mandate of ‘Legislative Review’ over Knesset Parliamentary statue laws. Day and night, shabbat from chol — judicial common law different from statute law religious ritual observances. Worlds separate Judicial common law which strives to rule the homeland through just restitution of damages inflicted, from observing Torah and halachot – טיפש פשט simply as religious ritual observances; an enslaved g’lut enchained mentality – Torah curse. Its easier to leave the slavery of Egypt than to free oneself from the crushed Human self-esteem dignity of living as enslaved oppressed servants – for millennia.

      כן דרכה היא מסתירה מעשיה, ואומרת כי לא פעלה און.”
      .אבן עזרא על משלי ל:כ–.כן דרך אשה מנאפת – היא דוגמת דרך הנחש על הצור, שאין אדם יודע דרכו This reactionary interpretation of משלי מוסר perhaps reflects the groveling self esteem of an oppressed slave, despite his wearing the crown of a king. King Shlomo worshipped avoda zara consequent to all his many foreign wives – a direct Torah לא תעשה. Hence it appears that this p’suk, more applicable to Shlomo than to women in general. מה אמרה תורה (דברים כב) כי יקח איש אשה. ולא כתב כי תקח אשה לאיש. מפני שדרכו של איש לחזר על אשה, ואין דרכה של אשה לחזר על איש. משל לאדם שאבדה לו אבידה. מי חוזר על מי? בעל אבידה מחזר על אבידתו

      Men and women equally have the Torah obligation to remember the oaths sworn by the Avot through which time oriented Torah commandments create the chosen Cohen people in all generations. Yom Kippur HaShem defined the mitzva of t’shuva after Moshe reminded to remember the oaths sworn to the Avot wherein the Torah cuts an eternal brit faith alliance.

      Granted our Gemara addresses the specific subject of קידושין, but utterly essential to remember that these specified mitzvot exist within the כלל of oath brit Av time oriented commandments. The פרט serves to define the כלל like as do specifics raised in the body of a thesis statement paragraph serve as concrete examples which contain and give actual meaning to the intent of the thesis statement made at the opening and closing of the paragraph.

      A person has to always keep his eye upon the prize. Time oriented Torah commandments expressed through the specifics of positive and negative תולדות secondary commandments. In like manner the Gemara contains and employs all manner of halachot. But these halachot serve as precedents whereby the down stream generations can re-interpret\משנה תורה/ the original language of the Mishna viewed from a different perspective.

      The tuma Yatzir within our hearts continuously seeks to worship the stars as Gods in their own existence! Hence the statute law codes made halachot from the Gemara into religious ritual observances in their own right. Later the commentaries written by the Reshonim placed upon a pedestal and worshipped. The rabbis preach the טיפש פשט parrot brained nonsense of ירידות הדורות but so conveniently ignore when the כסף משנה repudiates the הלכות גדולות.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved
