With God As My Partner e-bog

In 1972, I felt impressed of the Lord to write a book about my life and ministry. He even gave me the title, With God As My Partner. I voiced my objection in prayer by "e;reminding"e; Him that I had only been preaching for three years and pastoring for one. I had no experience in writing, but all I heard in return was, "e;Not now."e;I went through life with many "e;experiences"e; (both good and bad) piling up through the years. About four years ago, my wife said, "e;Ron, why don't you write a book about your life and ministry?"e; I didn't have any good answer for her; and since she is my best friend, my closest confidant, and my dearest prayer partner, I gave it some serious thought. In the following year, I came in contact with three or four others who asked me the same thing. In view of this, I went to the Lord in sincere prayer, and He said, "e;Now is the time."e;The book is not really in any chronological order but goes back and forth at times as I remember things. Again, the only way I could remember times, people, and names is With God As My Partner. I was not striving to produce any item of "e;literary art,"e; but something that could be shared with others what God has shared with me through the years. It has been an interesting journey, and I look forward to continuing it. When I gave the book its title, it was with a sense of humility, and not arrogance. I am well aware of the fact that the only way I (or anyone else) can "e;partner"e; with God is by His grace, realizing that it is all for His glory.
