Book excerpt: Losing his mother at age ten changed the authors life forever. Entering a Christian high school gave him a solid foundation in the Word of God. The next five years of military service as a Navy Corpsman (medic) with the 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division in Korea brought him into manhood. The next fifty years in the Lords service at Biola College (now University) as a student, in Japan as a missionary, and as a pastor of several churches in the Inland Northwest. Tragedies, his own near death, the death of their son, and difficult pastorates made him well aware that Gods grace is unconditional and eternal. This book should inspire you to trust in Gods grace completely no matter what the circumstances are.
