Paul K. Bates has been a businessperson, a public servant, a teacher, a volunteer, a student, a pastor, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. Fifty years ago, he turned away from faith. Thirty years ago, he returned. This little book contains some of the lessons he learned in his career, and some of the areas of Scripture that he became deeply focused on in his faith journey. It is his hope that some of these anecdotes will start a conversation between the you and someone important to you.
