Can you help me with English please?

The first time I had heard the voice of God in my soul, inviting me to embark on a more perfect life, was when I was seven.

Thank you!

I would leave out the had. 

1.  embark means to start on the journey.

2.  inviting me to embark on a more perfect life means giving you the option to choose a better life style.

Answer 2

I suggest you buy a dictionary. These are not rare or technical words.

Answer 3

"inviting me" means persuading me - "embark on" means to begin.
