    About this ebook

    In the process of writing two short collections of light hearted material, (one published and one yet to be published), the author became acutely aware that he could not continue forward without addressing what he considered to be the most important issues of human existence. All of us have asked ourselves the questions, "What is the meaning of life" and "Why am I here"? Some have rejected the idea of an eternal soul, some are undecided, while others are largely unconcerned, but the author has chosen to embrace the concept and run with it. He believes there is a single overriding mission for every individual alive today. The sole purpose of this life is to prepare for the next one, and every person has been given the ability to control his own destiny. When compared to eternity, our lives are like a single knot in a rope that stretches around the world. From the foundation of the earth, a plan has been in place to allow humanity to share the wonders of eternity with the Creator of all things. Those who follow that plan will be rewarded accordingly, while those who prefer to separate themselves from the influence of a Higher Power, will be granted their wish in eternity. If this book convinces one person to follow the plan that leads to redemption, then it will have been well worth the effort.

    The Return of the Circuit Rider
    Author

    David Robert Hinshaw

    The author has chosen this format to combine a love of poetry and a desire to reinforce his belief in a life perspective that is woefully lacking in today's culture. He feels this is a message that needs to be presented to an audience that might never receive it in a more traditional form. His inspiration was derived from the circuit riding preachers of the early American West such as Francis Asbury, Peter Cartwright and Samuel Walker, who traveled from pulpit to pulpit, spreading the "Good News". This work is filled with good news as well, and it is the author's prayer that it will strike a resonant chord with all who read it.
