• “Amen All By Myself”

  I’ve just begun to read the above titled (autographed!) book from the
  pastor of my church.  I’ve heard him make this statement more times
  than I can count.  It’s his gentle but firm way to call attention to
  ourselves and build an awareness of how much he too has been through
  the struggles of life.  His self-effacing style brings humor and
  comfort.  His willingness to disclose his challenges illustrates how
  God can take trials in our lives and turn them into testimonies.
  
  I
  still have an audio recording of a message that the pastor gave years
  ago on going “through the wilderness”.  That message has impacted me to
  this day.  I appreciate that he uses that theme throughout the book and
  gives insight and reference on how God uses that time where we may feel
  lost to grow, mold, and change us.
  
  I purchased 3 books for
  myself, a friend, and my father.  I see that many more purchases may be
  made in my future.  I’ll also put a link on my site to assist others to
  buy it.
  
  This will surely be a repeat read.
