    About this ebook

    Words of Life; this ebook is a compilation of 30 blog posts, from my blog 'Words of Life'. There is a variety of subjects to encourage Christians with short devotions and thoughts gleaned from the Scriptures. Subjects range from the fivefold name of Immanuel; short studies in the Book of Ruth; lessons from Hannah, Samuel the prophet and Eli the high priest. Also subjects such as sorrow, silence, peace and several others are touched on.

    We live in days of uncertainty, with financial stress in many countries. More and more people are out of work. We need the encouragement found in the Scriptures. I have always been encouraged by the words of King David in Psalm 37:25, "I have been young and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread." It is my earnest desire that your faith will be exercised and that our God will be given His due glory as a result.

    Jon Peasey

    I am a retired male nurse, married with three grown up sons, who have all left home to pursue their own interests in life. My wife and I moved from Toowoomba in south east Queensland in October 2015 to Brookfield a suburb in Brisbane Queensland (QLD). We made the move to be closer to family. In December 2018 we moved to Nundah Queensland to move even closer to family. Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland. Queensland is famous for the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef. Brisbane is situated on the Brisbane River and is known as the 'River City'. It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city. I am a Christian and I fellowship with like minded Christians. I enjoy writing, reading my Bible and Christian books. I tend to read non-fiction books in my spare time. My interests are my family, writing, bible study, beach walking, car touring, gospel preaching and bible teaching.

      About the Author

      I am a retired male nurse, married with three sons, who have grown up and left home. I live with my wife at Innisfail in tropical North Queensland, Australia. The main agricultural crops of the region are sugar cane, bananas and paw paws (papaya). Innisfail is situated at the confluence of the Johnstone and South Johnstone rivers; adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef. The closest major city is Cairns about 88 km further north.

      I am a committed Christian and I fellowship with like minded Christians at a Gospel Hall in Innisfail. I enjoy writing and reading my Bible and Christian books. I enjoy gospel preaching, bible teaching and sharing the knowledge I have gained over many years studying the Bible. I also enjoy reading other non-fiction books in my spare time, particularly biographies and autobiographies. Other interests are family, walking, riding my bicycle, car touring and holidaying with my wife.

      I also blog on my two blogs:

      Preface

      The following blog posts were written as the result of an exercise to start a blog to encourage fellow Christians with short devotions and thoughts from the Scriptures. We live in days of uncertainty, with financial stress in many countries. We need the encouragement found only in the Scriptures. There are 30 blog posts on a variety of subjects for help along the Christian pathway.

      As you can see from the title this is Volume 1. My intention is to publish further volumes as the blog posts roll out, over time. The blog posts are listed in the Table of Contents in the order they were originally published on the web. The reason for this is that some of the posts refer back to earlier posts. An alphabetical list of the posts is included at the end of the book for your convenience.

      Unless otherwise noted all Scriptures quoted are from the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Holy Bible. Words enclosed in square brackets [ ] are inserted for the sake of clarity. Any words outlined in bold type emphasise
