Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - God has been revealing to me that writing is an effective way for me to share my heart with Him; I feel encouraged to use it as a way to share his love and my faith in him with you. I have spent the majority of my life searching desperately for the missing piece to complete my life puzzle. The discovery of my life has been made.Jesus.

He his waiting with open arms and unending love for you! God forgives you! We can approach God with confidence in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The idea of this book grew from a seed planted in my heart on November 9, 2012. While reading II Kings, God revealed to me an important role in my Christian life. God tells of King Hezekiah, who was aware of God's presence in past events, had a personal relationship with God via a powerful prayer life, and trusted in God's help for current events in his life. One thing he lacked was his concern for future generations. God convicted my heart that I was lacking this as well. Not sure what to do, I prayed that God would show me. A book. Since I will not be around forever to share my faith with future generations, I can share my faith through a book. This is the first and possibly the only book I will write; I will leave that up to God. This is a collection of prayers and writings regarding some truths God has revealed to me. An invitation to you.to draw near, speak to God about what is on your heart, then be still, and know that He is God. This is the sacrifice God wants from us. He wants us to share our heart with him and trust him and his word to guide our lives. Talk to God about anything you would a family member, best friend, co-worker, etc. God wants us to come to Him first.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Inside his old log cabin my Granddad and I would finish an early breakfast and he'd give my hair a tussle, tell me to 'Be back by dark', and head to the outhouse. It was 1951. I was 6. And that whole State Park he managed was my playground.' From that point forward, Single Harness(c) recounts moments over the next 62 years, with 24 of them spent as part of a very special team, from humorous to historic to horrible. Reviews: Not too many generations ago Americans knew what single harness meant. It referred to an animal-usually a horse- being of strength and temperament to function alone. The term was also applied to people and it referred to 'character'. Being of skill, strength, and character sufficient to function alone: what a concept. But this ability is far the more unusual when there is risk to life and limb. And in the author's life, there was grave risk. I have the true honor of knowing the author. A man of character. Of strength. Of intelligence. Of humor. A hero. In 'Single Harness'.
