Drama of the Dawning: Hummmm! Meeting God

By Ronnie Lee Johnson

This Drama of the Dawning shouts out the awesome realization of salvation. Conventional church life, old rusted religious rules and the like need the reminder of people having a new starting point with God. A first time starting point. Call it being converted, saved, transformed or redeemed, The Drama of the Dawning highlights that first shining light drama.
As you read this book, you will hear that powerful theme of the dawning like no other happening on this planet. You personally will be more confident, more comforted, and more attentive to your own daily walk with the Savior.
A fire starts somewhere, somehow, sometime—it doesn’t just begin without a strike, or friction. The Drama of the Dawning will carry you back to that day a fire started inside your heart and soul.

Ronnie Johnson’s book is a thought-provoking take on how we need to view life, no matter what disagreeable things it throws at us, as “a special gift not a curse.” In doing this you will have the dawning of, as the song goes, “a closer walk with thee.” Thank you RJ for the reminder!
~Sandra E. Miskie Ph.D.

Ronnie Johnson and I have been friends for many years. He has a heart for God and is one of the most genuine Christians I have ever known. He walks the talk.
I highly recommend this book and know it will be an inspiration to you and multitudes of others.
~Dr. Billy C. Foote
Evangelist

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to the late Dr. Sandy Miskie. Sandy was an enormous influence in the life of my family, and without a doubt, countless others, on this green globe.

Her compassion and genuine care for others was exceptional. She was a delight to know, and to share our lives with.

As a true witness of the Lord, Sandy was real. No flare or façade, she made you feel at home because she had that extraordinary warmth and love we all need in this world today. Sandy was simply Sandy and no one else!

Without any doubt those who knew this incredible lady were well-aware of her contagious spirit and sweet smile that exuded Christ the Lord.

Sandy was a person you waited patiently to see or meet—you just knew it would be worth your time. Once in her presence, you were uplifted by the sheer joy she possessed as a devoted Christian and friend.

I proudly and thankfully dedicate this book to Dr. Sandy Miskie and pray many of you will come to know the Drama of the Dawning that Sandy had unquestionably, experienced herself.

Thank you, Father for the life and ministry of Sandy Miskie and the untold lives she changed for all eternity.

FOREWORD

In this wonderful book, THE DRAMA OF DAWNINGS, you will be putting your ear to Ronnie Johnson’s heart, and you will hear The Lord. As a minister for over 52 years, the last 18 as the founding pastor of a church, I have seen people in every stage of discovery and spiritual growth. Some substitute church attendance for their spiritual acumen and position in life. I have seen Christian living a dormant Christian life perhaps believing they have arrived. And yet, when you find the multitudes of followers of Christ who take each day, sometimes many times a day, tuning in to the voice of God through discovery in personal dawnings.

Ronnie Johnson gives us a wonderfully excellent read, but more importantly a devotional, and a challenge to God’s personal movement and interaction in our life. Listen, look, and see the Lord everywhere in the spaces of life that can give joy and hope. Chapter 5 is worth reading the entire book because it catches us where we each meet at different points of our spiritual journey. Each of us must discover our walking through the difficult valleys of life. But…then Ronnie reminds us that God is waiting to meet us and remind us of the magnificence of His Majesty and Glory all around us. This book reminds us of God’s visit to lift us up. I love Ronnie’s reminder that we are partners in the journey of faith with the Lord. Ronnie Johnson gives us example after example from his own life and the lives of great leaders in our faith. These words are inspiring, they are real, and tried and true and has been from the writing of the Old Testament to the words of Christ and His followers
