    About this ebook

    “He began to notice many changes in his life and his acts of goodness; he had a sense of humility, instead of pride;kindness where there had always been contention; generosity in place of greed; compassion where there had always been apathy or contempt for his fellow man.”   (The Old Man)
    “The Lord said to me, “At the end of each day bring me all your thoughts from that day in a bucket. This will be your test of how much you have of heaven.”  (Heaven in a Bucket)

    Michael plans his life around his desire to see the world, but on the day of his dream coming true, he encounters something greater; beyond what he had imagined.   Each story in this series of Little Books About the Magnitude of God reveals the powerful working of His grace in different hearts and lives.
    From Stan who loses the use of his legs and arms to Sarah, who loses her husband, and from others in these short stories, there is encouragement to the reader to see God’s working of grace in their own lives.

      Rubber Legs

      Stan, a young man in the prime of his youth, successful in all that he had wanted to do in life, woke one morning, but was unable to get out of bed. His legs and arms were like rubber.

      He could move his head, his hands, his feet, and his body, but his arms and legs seemed to have no bone, and no muscle. He was not in pain—-but totally uncoordinated. Overnight he had become helpless.

      Alone, he had no one to call to. He could not reach his phone. His screams for help! went unanswered.

      In his despair he cried, Oh God, help me!

      In the assurance that his cry was heard he ceased to panic, and his struggle turned to resignation. He gave in to his helplessness with the only hope he had been given. In peace, he relaxed and slept.

      When he awoke, Stan realized that the trauma he had experienced had been a dream.

      Was it only a dream? Or was it God’s supernatural way of revealing his real need, and producing a miracle in his life? It was real enough to cause this young man to evaluate his independence of God. In the dream he had experienced in his whole being the sense of full dependence on the Lord God, who had enabled him to call out to the only one who could help him in his solitude, and the response he received was what he needed.

      In reality he sought the same God of mercy that he had encountered in his dream.  God brought him to full dependence. And he never forgot his rubber legs and arms.

      God restored, through his relationship with His Son, Jesus, the proper use of his whole body, soul, and spirit. In a local church body of believers, Stan learned more about his God, and found his true purpose for living, in service to Him, for His glory.

      Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

      and the young men shall utterly fall:

      But they that wait upon the Lord

      shall renew their strength;

      they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

      they shall run, and not be weary;

      and they
