Little Books About the Magnitude of God Series

Are you down and out, or are you up and about?  Have you crashed, or are you soaring? Are you burned out, weary of well doing, without any sense of reward? Are you living in your own strength, or in the power of the God who created you?   We see God revealed when Jesus lived here among men. He often asked the question, “What do you want me to do for you?” This important question is real today because the needs of man never change.  In a world where humans attempt to live successfully by their own standards and power, we are in constant need of knowledge and strength beyond our own.  We are taught by man that the more we work the greater will be our rewards.  We try one thing and then another to find that deal that will make us special and wear ourselves out in the process.  Then, we either give up or try something new.   You may continue to ask, “What is God’s plan for me?” If you are at this point, be encouraged that your Creator has the spreadsheet, and desires to show you what He can do for you, what He planned for you before the foundation of the world; so amazing that only He can do these things in you and through you.  He speaks these words of truth and power in the Holy Bible and invites you to read and learn what He wants to do in your heart and life. We can see God’s purpose in His Word.  Here you will learn how to find God’s will for you. What we read and study will either keep us down or raise us to new heights that we can never reach on our own.  Meditation on God’s word is the practice of those who know the supernatural power of the Spirit of Christ working in their minds and hearts.   Through the printed word of God and the power of His Holy Spirit, He informs, reforms, transforms, conforms and performs in such a way that is beyond man’s understanding. Here is profound knowledge of God’s purpose for His creation. Seventy-seven years has brought the author of The Garden to share how God works even to old age in those who “wait on the Lord for His strength, so as to soar, to run and not be weary; to walk and not faint.” She invites you to open your Bible and discover the delights of our Father’s house and garden.  Should we combine all our imaginations  ~ all that we could ask for or think of  ~ we would still come short of what He has prepared for us and waits to give us. “The garden of God's Word is a taste of what is to come in our inheritance and is a continual reminder that this wilderness is only temporary.  His plans to bring us to an eternal paradise will not fail.”  The Garden of GODS’ WORD

“He began to notice many changes in his life and his acts of goodness; he had a sense of humility, instead of pride;kindness where there had always been contention; generosity in place of greed; compassion where there had always been apathy or contempt for his fellow man.”   (The Old Man) “The Lord said to me, “At the end of each day bring me all your thoughts from that day in a bucket. This will be your test of how much you have of heaven.”  (Heaven in a Bucket) Michael plans his life around his desire to see the world, but on the day of his dream coming true, he encounters something greater; beyond what he had imagined.   Each story in this series of Little Books About the Magnitude of God reveals the powerful working of His grace in different hearts and lives. From Stan who loses the use of his legs and arms to Sarah, who loses her husband, and from others in these short stories, there is encouragement to the reader to see God’s working of grace in their own lives.

Are you struggling? Are you anxious?  Do you feel defeated or alone, even though you have accomplished much in your life?   Are you happy with what you have, or do you constantly have to replace these things with new ones?  Is there always another plateau you have to reach?   Do the things that you own and your success give you peace? Is there anything in this world that lasts forever? What is there that we can see and touch that will not eventually lose its attraction and value, erode or fade away? What can we take out of this world when we die? What is the use of all that we know and live by? If we live long enough we realize that most of what we learn and do as children and adults are useless past this life. In this little book, we see three things that Jesus taught His disciples, things that are related to eternity, things for now and in the next life. For all who hear and adhere to His teachings, He gives assurance of a life beyond this one, an eternal life with Him and God, the Father.  We find in these things an unexpected reality of true life now and forever.  Belief and values are established in what He lived and taught so that we may be living free in Christ from the anxiety of this world. First things that last forever are simple but there is a profound knowledge in these things.  If we know them and meditate upon them we realize that these are things that we live by here, the spiritual things that will eventually transition us to an eternal glory where God is all that we need.
