Publisher's Synopsis
Some reviewer comments were - "This book is truly a treasure." "This is a book of humor and heartache and truth - what more could anyone want?" "It's a painfully honest account of a journey of faith." It is filled with messages of hope, help, and encouragement; a fireside chat for the weary, struggling, or those seeking direction; and a fresh look into the pathway of finding answers designed to inspire you to reach beyond yourself. And finally, if everything is going well, it is designed to keep you on track. I was my biggest problem in life. I tried it my way, and it wasn't working. I knew there needed to be a change. I thought I could clean up my act and get it right. Oh, how deceived I was. My efforts continually failed. Every time I tried, I'd fall flat on my face and be right back where I started. Sometimes worse! I thought "Big Bad Bill" could do it! Two steps forward, three backwards! I began to wonder what was wrong with me. Am I really that rotten? Give me another drink, so I won't feel the pain or have to think about it. Yep, I used to live to drink. Until one day, I made the best decision in my life. This book is my story, and more! It's a view of things God has shown me through the years. Things I've seen and how they apply to us today. I'm not saying all my perceptions are absolute truths. Every body has an opinion. By sharing these thoughts, it is my hope, that it will encourage you to think too, as you find there is a power in this Universe greater than anything you can imagine. I wish I had all the answers, but I don't. I wonder why we go through some things in life. I sometimes wonder why there seems to be so much suffering and pain. All I know is that we live in a fallen world. God's people of old suffered as we suffer today, and He brought them through it for the better, according to His purposes. He can do that for you too. The answers to all the issues of life can be found in the Bible. It can generate questions as well. For example, have you ever wondered what went on behind the scenes in some events you've heard about in the Bible? God doesn't spell out all the details in everything. He gets to the point and gives us what we need to know. In His infinite wisdom, He kept the readings within a manageable size for us. Now I have a very active imagination, and that's part of what this book is about. By sharing these thoughts with you, my hope is it will inspire you, so you will dig deeper into God's Word to see what He has to say. This study can take you on the journey of your life. An adventure, I've found, I have never regretted taking! So, as you travel with me, sit back, relax, and buckle up while we wander down the road of possibilities and truths. Hope you enjoy the journey and find the ultimate destination, Christ Jesus!
