Hi - here is an example page from my book, Joy That Renews:

Dig Deep -- Your Father will always show you mercy and grace.

Please deal gently with me, Yahweh; show me mercy, for I’m sick and frail. I’m fading away with weakness. Heal me, for I’m falling apart (Psalm 6:2).

What if you get a call from one of your kids, and it’s bad, even shattering news? This is the nitty-gritty of life. What can you do when even the worst happens? Everyone is in this place at one time or another; nobody is immune. In these times, David has some good practices to follow:
Call out to the Lord, asking for his mercy and grace. Be honest with him about how you feel. Continue to call out to him. Wait to hear from him, believing by faith that he hears you and will answer you, especially when your pain is great.
There are going to be times when his mercy and grace seem far off. In those times you will need to dig deeper to find his brook of nourishment. Don’t give in to despair or unbelief. Practice believing even when all you feel is pain. God will come through for you in the way that is best for your life.
Whatever your pain is, claim by faith that God’s steadfast love and mercy are surrounding you right now. Hang in there and take time to wait until you hear God’s voice. It will come.

I know my Father knows my pains and
sorrows and that he will always be merciful and gracious with me. I will remind myself of that, run to him, and make him my refuge where I will live in safety.

Hi Steve,

Great message that speaks on the heart of the Father. I'm a mother and grandmother so the message greatly blessed me. People from all ages will benefit from reading what you share from the Book of Psalms, and have their joy renewed.

Blessings,

The Fighting Son
Excerpt from Chapter 11: Most Terrifying Moment

Upon gaining entry into the house, Rod called out for Sue. The return for his calling out was a loud guttural growl that reverberated through the house. The sound came at Rod from several directions and Rod went searching for Sue. As Rod approached the stairs, Rod could hear Sue calling to Rod in a weak voice.

Entering their bedroom, Sue was on the bed trying to catch her breath from the last pang of an urgent contraction.

Sue shouted, “THE BABY IS COMING” with an urgent tone in her voice.

Trying to remain calm, he said, “We need to get you to the hospital.”

“NO, THE BABY IS COMING RIGHT NOW!” she hysterically stated.

This news left Rod frozen in the moment, not knowing what to do. Rod had jumped out of low-flying airplanes, faced enemy combatants with guns, and encountered evil characters from another dimension, but never felt so helpless as he did in that moment.
