    About this ebook

    OUR CALL TO SERVE

    WE ARE LIVING WORDS OF GOD

    WE ARE CALLED TO BE THE CHRIST

    “The Word which proceeds from the mouth of God shall not return Empty.” From Isaiah 55:10-11.

    It is my personal belief that God calls each of us while we are in the womb to serve God. In calling our names in the womb, we become living words of God intended to do God’s work in our world.
    And what is the work of God?

    “God has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you, but to do Justice and to do Loving Kindness, and to Walk Humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

    It is up to us. We have the power to do good or evil. What will you choose to do? The world is in our hands.

    Dear Reader,I've been writing stories and poems for sixty years. I have a closet full of rejections and this year I decided to e-pub.The first novel I chose for this is dedicated to my wife, Carolyn. I wrote it in 1998. It is entitled: Summer. It is about pain and suffering, the difficult choices people face, and how love can overcome anything.As a pastor and theologian, I do not separate the sacred and the profane. The difference is in the human mind and not in life itself, just as evil is in the human mind and comes out of the choices people make and not from the devil who made me do it. The devil has nothing to do with it. We are the ones who choose to do evil or good. The whole world is in our hands. Enjoy the books.Paul David RobinsonReverend Paul David Robinson,BA, MDiv, Pastor, Retiredhttps://www.pauldavidrobinson.comhttps://www.pauldavidrobinson.com/blog/
