    About this ebook

    Dr. David L. Kjosa Sr. has dedicated his life to encouraging, inspiring and challenging people to believe that thru Christ they can overcome any challenge in life. He tells us that life is defined by the choices we make. That, choices are at the core of who we are and what we value as important. Through Simply Safe Choices (SSC) we can travel the proven road to self-esteem, success, and an exciting future. He is an eternal optimist and attributes it to the choices he made as a young man. He shares his optimism with us in The Oars of Our Lives. Now with genuine enthusiasm and love he guides us to the one who waits our invitation to give us a bright future-Jesus Christ. He has written an inspiring and uplifting book that will resonate with everyone and remind us how to make Christ-honoring choices—Simply Safe Choices. His technique is clever and ingenious and is certain to hold the readers’ attention. He speaks to men and women of all faiths with the uplifting message that they can be all that they were created to be through Christ-honoring choices-Simply Safe Choices.

    By contrasting familiar concepts Dr. Kjosa tackles and addresses familiar life challenges. He encourages and motivates them to make choices which will honor Christ and provide a bright future for themselves. Their destiny need not be an elusive idea or impossibility.

    A new you, a new life, a bright future, is waiting all around them. Their tour guide, their Captain, Jesus Christ, is waiting to show them His plan for their lives. A life bright and beautiful lies ahead for them to discover untouched, untapped, and unexplored talent. A Purpose filled life.

    As a child of God, we are born with a purpose in life to be fulfilled. With clear, concise, right-on-the-money words of encouragement Dr. Kjosa helps us mere mortals learn what it is all about. So, dare to be bold. Dare to make your thinking big enough for Christ to fit into your plans.

    Your Dynamic Divine Destiny awaits you.

    “Today is the time,

    Today is all you have,

    Tomorrow never comes,

    Dream your dreams,

    Dream boldly.

    Dare to think big,

    Dare to think boldly,

    Christ will reward you boldly,

    And you will soar with Eagles.”

    David L. Kjosa Sr. D. Min.

    David L. Kjosa Sr. draws on his many years of experience in the ministry as a Chaplain in the United States Army. Feeling inadequate as a young man and seemingly lacking the ability to tackle the challenge to rise to the divine mandate he was being called to fulfill, he says he found the strength and focus/hope in these powerful life changing words: “I didn’t know that I couldn’t and so in faith I stepped out and did the impossible, changing impossibilities into possibilities, doors opened, and I walked through them fulfilling my divine mandate and God blessed me beyond anything I could have ever imagined.” Now in a novel approach to addressing the core questions of life he shows us how to live a purpose-filled life. He distills his lifetime of counseling, motivational and practical wisdom into proven steps to making Christ-honoring choices-Simply Safe Choices. He draws on his deep knowledge of the human experience, and the struggle for authenticity. His ministry as a United States Army Chaplain at many stateside locations and several countries overseas has given him unique insight and enabled to him provide the tools and the keys to living a life of faith and love thru Jesus Christ. He has pastored two Churches in Missouri and seven Army Chapels stateside and overseas. His years of mission ministry in Eastern Europe-the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania, dealing with men and women formerly under the control of Communism has given him unique insight into showing men and women how to achieve victory thru Jesus Christ over challenges in their lives. As Director, Harvest International Ministries-Europe, and President, Harvest International Bible University in the Czech Republic, the first Bible School after the Berlin Wall downfall in 1989, he has seen it all first-hand. He shares with us, from personal experience, and is confident The Oars Of Our Lives holds the answer to the challenges you face or will face. He says it is face-time with Jesus Christ..
