Story Behind The Book
On New Year’s Day, 2014, I was watching a documentary that told the story of Amazing Grace, and other hymns that were written long ago. Most, if not all, included a story about the ordeals the author was facing that God helped them to get through. And so it went, that every songwriter wrote the songs quickly and believed that God gave them the words. As I started to watch the movie, words suddenly flooded into my brain that I just had to write down. I thought of it as a song, but the tune didn’t come to me at the time. After a couple of weeks, I wrote again. This time, I wasn’t sure whether it was to be a song or what, but the words came quickly, and I had to write them down. I continued in this way, writing whenever God told me to grab a pen. Usually I would have the first few words or sentence before I sat down to write. On July 8, 2014, I wrote when prompted and the tears ran down my face as I wrote what God later told me was to be chapter 1 of this book that He wanted me to publish. Every time I had a few minutes, I would write what He gave me. This entire book was completed on August 4, 2014.
