    Country Preacher Series

    About this series

    During our entire earthly life, we are faced with a constant barrage of situations requiring decisions—some small and some gigantic. The way they are resolved shapes who we become. Each decision can have either a positive or negative result on our life depending on how we decide which path we want to take in the challenge of decision making.

    Through sermonettes, illustrations, and prayers, Rev. Goode demonstrates how God and satan are both available to influence decisions but with results that are far different. One offers the "narrow gate" of righteous living and peace. The other offers the "wide gate" of worldly pursuit and unrest.

    For the present troubling times, the author builds a convincing position that belief and trust in God are complete and satisfying answers both now and for eternity. No matter your faith level, challenges for even a stronger belief will confront you from these pages. Be open to a deeper faith, realizing that a lot is riding on who you partner with in your decision process.

    This may very well be the most important decision you will ever make.

      In our earthly journey, as we confront the complexities of daily living and snares of Satan's temptations, the vast majority of people seek, among other things, peace and tranquility. In this search, the seeker must decide on one of two avenues of travel. I can get it done by myself. I have all I need to reach this goal and defeat the evil forces. The guidance, wisdom, and strength needed can readily be found in trusting God, having faith in God's presence through the Holy Spirit, and studying the principles of God found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Risen Christ. With the use of short messages (sermonettes), illustrations, and prayers, Rev. Goode guides the reader to a clear understanding of the ramifications of each avenue taken. As the Holy Spirit speaks to your heart through this book, be reminded that God uses different ways to comfort the afflicted and also to afflict the comfortable.
