What happened Next was like slow motion .Try as I might I could not keep my head above water, I managed to get to the top a couple of times just to sink back down. At 5 years old My Entire Knowledge of life came from the cartoons I watched on Saturday mornings and if I was sure of anything I was drowning !

Drowning In Plain Sight is a Book given to me in a Dream from the Lord. In the dream I was working very hard to try to finish a book , when God interupted and said " If you are going to write a book Write this one." In the Dream iwas shown the Title , the Chapters and the stories to be told. God said "My people need this book" It is filled with true stories of friends and family who went under in the storms of life... some were rescued just in Time.

Len Parsons is no stranger to those he has ministered to for over 30 years,  but for the other 98%  who will read this book. He is an appreciated Aglow adviser, local business owner/operator (ministry platform in disguise), personal pastor, and an envisioned evangelist who wears a prophetic mantle with humility, honoring the Lord in all his hands find to do.  A journey that started at a young age, a midst challenging circumstances, he has traveled with Jesus as his best friend, followed the leading of the Holy Spirit when no one else “heard” and no one else understood, trusting God with everything. One of the things that I remember him saying is, “it's not complicated – I talk to God -- He talks back. He'll do it for you.” Trust me – I've known him a long time – God talks to him! Come and meet this man,  through these books, who appears to many to be simple and even calls his church “Simple Church” – deliver a profound, live-altering message, straight from the sound of His voice and the wisdom of walking with Jesus for a long time!! It's really not complicated....just show up and God will do the rest. :)   Pastor Len Parsons was Saved in 1970 in a Powerful encounter with the God of the Universe !
