This book is a collection of some of my favorite messages preached over the past 28 years. They are in no particular order. Each message was prayed for when it was being composed; and was prayed for again as it was about to be preached. Again over the past year, as each message was pulled up to be worked on, it was prayed for again, several times more. After careful analysis, some got a bit of an upgrade.

It is hoped each message will deeply touch your heart. Far too often, I was one of those long-winded preachers. To make up for my excesses, I am putting this book together. Now if a message is too long, the reader can just mark the page and resume later. Another good thing about this book is that there is no offering after each message.

Like other preachers, we do a lot of Bible reading to improve our Bible knowledge. But when I prepare a message to preach, I try to plow a little deeper to provide a message with more substance, and color it to make it more interesting. However, these are not written to entertain, but rather to edify and build you up as a strong believer with richer Bible knowledge. But I'd be happy if you enjoyed the process along the way.

It is my ongoing prayer that my readers would find this work richly edifying, enjoyable and inspiring. God bless you all.
