Product Description
Why have a book about myself written? It is NOT about me, but about a loving God who has had mercy upon me and saved me from sin, shame, condemnation-a loving God who longs to save every man, woman, and child. Throughout life, He has opened door after door for me to walk through, always pointing the way, always sustaining me, always lifting me up when things were tough. It is He and He alone Who is to be worshipped, honored and thanked for the "Great Things He has done." I just want everyone to know the Lord and His glorious salvation and guidance throughout life.I want to express my appreciation to Gideons International, (especially Ken Speakman), and to Gideons in the old Area 9 (South Pacific and Far East) and Area 5 (Europe and Russia), who welcomed me and my wife, Gail, into their homes and lives, as we trained and shared God's love through placing Gideon Bibles and New Testaments in schools, hospitals, hotels and lodgings. What a privilege to hand a student or patient, or hotel manager God's Word and see the smiles and expressions of joy on their faces Thank you to the SC Gideons and Auxiliary, who prayed for us as we traveled and rejoiced with me as I reported to them how God had honored and answered their prayers. Thanks to employees at Schofield Ace Hardware in Florence, SC and especially the late Phil Baugh, who kept the "ship" going while I was away. I am forever grateful to the other three founding board members of Leadership Ministries Worldwide-Carroll Howe, Dave Luikaart, Scott Myers-and to our attorney John Stophel who soon thereafter became a board member. All these men-out of their love for Christ-readily stepped out in faith to begin a journey that today has made possible for millions of Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bibles to be in 170+ countries around the world and in 18 languages. Finally, thank you to our families and especially to our two sons, Hank and Ron, who encouraged us to go forth for Christ while they kept the home fires burning. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
