The Simple Book

<p>I was raised in Essexville Michigan with my two brothers and two sisters. My exposure to Christianity was because of my mother who took us to a Community Baptist church most Sundays. When I was eleven years of age I heard a clear voice say that He would give me until I'm thirty-five. There was no one around so I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.</p><p>Years later as I approached the age of thirty-five it seemed that everywhere I went someone was sharing the Gospel with me. I listened to what they said but I thought I was already a believer since my wife and I went to church almost every Sunday.</p><p>I started to read the Bible beginning at page one. Many days later as I read in the book of Isaiah Jesus Christ became alive and then I could understand the Scriptures. I was thirty-five at that time and then God reminded me of the experience I had at the age of eleven!</p><p>The years that followed included the activity of various offices within the church and different cabinet positions in the Gideon's International organization. I pray that God will use this book to strengthen the believers and assist others to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.</p>
