Book excerpt: I have been encouraged for many, many years to write a book. I thought I had nothing of value to say. As the years marched by and I had more adventures, God said, "It's time." In my years on this earth, I have learned so many valuable lessons. More than anything, I have learned some amazing things about God, His Son, and their love for us. And I am still learning. I hope that you will be encouraged by what you read in this book.
