Reflections on a Christian Life

Jerry Kalb grew up on a farm near Bucyrus Ohio in rural Crawford County. Although his lack of affinity for all things agricultural led him away from the farm his rural upbringing influenced his down-to-earth informal approach to ministry.</P> <P>Part 1 of this book offers condensed nuggets of sermons preached over a two- to three-year period at the Painesville United Methodist Church where Rev. Kalb has pastored during the past two decades. In part 2 readers will find some of his One Minute Messages broadcast daily over local radio station WKKY FM 104.7. Topics range from a personal relationship with God to family life the fellowship of believers and outreach in the greater community. </P> <P>Rev. Kalb's style is conversational and accessible sprinkled with humor and everyday anecdotes. His positive inspirational thoughts point to a God who is above all loving and forgiving and who welcomes all people. He has often told the congregation If you only remember one thing I've ever said always remember that God loves you.</P>
