Your Little Red Wagon

by Alex Himaya

There s something almost magical about an old Radio Flyer wagon, isn t there? It conjures up all kinds of images and memories. The sight of one stirs my emotions and takes me back to my childhood. You may or may not have had a wagon, but you at least knew someone who did. I have another little red wagon, and so do you. An imaginary one. You and I started piling stuff into this imaginary wagon so early in life that we can hardly remember the first things that went into them. But somewhere along the way, we discovered tragedy, pain, disappointment, and disillusionment. Those, too, went into the wagon. What if we could let go of the wagon, drop the handle and not worry about it anymore? No more shame. No more lies. No more hiding. What if you no longer had to worry about the good stuff covering the bad stuff because neither matters? If you re looking for that kind of freedom, I want you to know that it can be found in these pages. Proceed without caution.

This book is just over 100 pages but I’m about to preach a multi week sermon series that it has led me to.

My son attends this church and thought I would enjoy this. He was right!
Still trying to figure out how to obtain that elusive relationship with God? This is a great little book to wipe away the dogma and get straight to the facts.

The title is very appropriate. I had one of those wagons and carried all of my treasures, and at times, not so great treasures around town. There in lies the problem. As we age, it seems our wagons are filled with more bad stuff, yet, we attempt to cover it up with the good stuff we’ve accumulated. It’s time to change that mind set.

The main message in the book is, “religion is not the way to heaven or a relationship with God. It’s, changing your way of thinking.” How? You’ll have to get a copy. It could be a life saver.
