History: The Light

By Jasper Snellings

The Light is the third book of the HIStory Book series.
It explores Jesuss parables and their in-depth mysteries.
This book is developed from the Biblical writings of Matthew
As Jesus teaches His disciples, instructing His chosen few.
Since God has called us to be His disciples here on earth,
We should study and understand these parables amazing worth!
My prayer is that you see the Light as if Jesus were to talk
And the Light enhances your faith and comforts your daily walk.
Gods Light is the hope shining into the worlds increasing darkness,
And His love fills our lives through His words of infinite truthfulness.
In His service, Jasper Snellings.

Jasper Snellings

Jasper Snellings’s journey from electrical engineer to author took some interesting turns along the way. His early years were spent in Humble, Texas, where his parents were members of the First United Methodist Church. Inheriting his father’s and mother’s musical talents, Snellings has added his booming bass voice to many a church choir. He currently sings with Christ Church UMC of Woodlands. Snellings graduated from the University of Houston in 1967 with a degree in electrical engineering. He started his engineering career in Houston and later managed in the Dallas office of Foxboro Company. His professional experience includes presentations on business quality to universities and trade shows across the country. He was featured in an article in PI Quality Magazine, published September/October 1993, entitled “Building a Business Alliance.” In 1987, he met his wife, SuZanne, and they now live in Woodlands, Texas. A conservative Christian and Bible-study teacher, he was a candidate on the independent ticket for United States Congress as a representative from District 18 (Houston) in 1994. He also is a history enthusiast and creates a quarterly column for Stripes, a journal of the Texas State Genealogical Society. In his writings, Snellings seeks to share the gospel through prose and the use of classical art. This beautifully presented book, designed by the author, is Snellings’s second published book and is dedicated to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.
