Praise God! I was given the opportunity to share the words and songs he has given me throughout my lifetime. I pray that when reading this book, you realize how awesome our Father in heaven actually is. He is real. He is holy. He is all-powerful. He is the answer to any and every problem you may be facing now or are confronted with in the future. Satan is a liar and trying desperately to get people to turn away from our loving Father, but remember, his time is short-God is eternal. There is nothing that can come upon you that God hasn't already taken care of. Even death is a win situation when you believe in our Savior, Jesus Christ. God has everything under control.

I pray that when reading this book, you feel encouraged, strengthened, and have the peace that passes all understanding. I pray that you can learn to laugh at adversity, and praise God in all things, remembering that all things work together for the good to them that love God (Romans 8:28).

God has provided everything we need to live in joy on this earth. Every answer to all questions and every test can be found in his precious word, the Bible. As Barnaby would say, "It's an open book test." Barnaby was the minister that encouraged me to actually read the Bible that had been gathering dust for so many years on my bookshelf. I thank God for Barnaby and his ministry.

I pray that the words and songs in this book will encourage you to pick up your Bibles and to start reading. I pray that it makes you hungry for more knowledge of our precious God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him and sup with him and him with me" (Revelation 3:20).

I pray that God blesses you abundantly and that you live in peace and understanding.
