Why the book When you read my book, Faith in a Box you will learn why I wrote this story. Believe me when I tell you, I never wanted to. I mean, who wants to tell all about themselves. Tell some dark secrets to the world, certainly not me. Maybe that is why I fought doing any more than what I had done, give a testimony to a friendly congregation. God wanted more from me but I didn’t want to give it. I knew this but by ignoring those feelings, I figured I could just put it off indefinitely. That all change when Kim, my wife today got cancer. I have felt fear before. Having been in two wars facing death, or fear when a child is ill and you’re filled with uncertainty. However, on that November day, when Kim received her diagnosis of advanced cancer, a cold sweat consumed my entire being. No one can explain adequately the loss of a spouse. My memories when learning Cindy was dead, all those years ago haunted me again. No one can comfort you from such a loss. Why, because the one, who can share your loss, is the one who loves you above all others, your best friend, your life long companion, is the one you lost. I don’t know why, but I know God was leading me this way. He knew how I would react to Kim getting cancer. He knew how scared I would be. I love Kim and thoughts of losing her brought back the hurt and the pain from all those years ago. Writing the book is what helped get me through it. When in August Kim was diagnosed cancer free, I knew God had saved her and I praised him for it. God didn’t give Kim cancer, but God knew what was coming and set me up for a quick kick to the behind. I figured out, what he wanted from me, so many years ago, and what He was still waiting for. He wanted me to tell the story, the story of a miracle. The story of God turning an unbeliever, a sinner into someone He could use to tell His story of miracle and salvation. That is why I wrote this book. To honor God, and follow His will.
