THE ABUNDANT LIFE

About the Book

This is a book of devotional thoughts about life in general and the Christian life in particular. It is rooted deeply in scripture and reflects the author’s lifetime of experience in studying and teaching the great truths of the Bible. For the most part it stays away from divisive doctrinal issues or any systematic theological presentation, and focuses on ideas that have some inspirational value or provide practical guidance for daily Christian living. One of the early readers of the draft manuscript is a friend who is a published author, and she commented, “I think The Abundant Life is absolutely wonderful and I believe many people would love to read this over and over again.”
