Writing this book has become my idea, but not before others suggested it. Occasionally I would read a poem and some listener would ask whether I was ever going to get the poems published. As we got older, Jo Ann would suggest that we write down some experiences and events we had shared so our grandchildren and great-grandchildren could read of them. I considered writing something about ministry that might be helpful to other preachers, especially those just getting started.
When Jo Ann died, I was still in “probably sometime” mode: yes, I wanted to do a book, and “probably sometime” I would. She would have been wonderfully helpful had I written while she was with me. But her passing opened time I never seemed to have before. The book has been an off-and-on project for more than two years.
I have vacillated between free flow and desert, easy times and difficult. But I have enjoyed most of the enterprise and am looking forward to editing and completing this work. I hope many will read and enjoy it, but my prayer is that also it will offer nurture for the soul.
To God be the Glory,
