Along the Way: Lessons from one man’s journey with God

“I want to emphasise that my life is not your life. Nor is yours mine. Each life is unique. As a master potter, God shapes and prepares us for the tasks he wishes us uniquely to perform. What we share in common is that the same God is in each of us ‘to will and to work for his good pleasure.’” Originally written for his daughters, ALONG THE WAY is a very personal look at one man’s journey with God. It is a glimpse into some of the ways God shapes our lives to his intended purpose for us. For years, Ray travelled to dangerous places on risky airlines. He taught the Bible to church leaders in countries where to believe in Christ could result in imprisonment or even death. Always working ‘below the radar.’ These brief sketches of a life story, encouragements to the daughters he had to leave behind, are reflections on what God did. They point to the way God uses successes and failures, spectacular events, and the ordinariness of the daily grind to shape our lives for the role he wishes us to fulfil. Behind even apparent disasters, there is always the unseen hand of a faithful, sovereign God who would achieve his purposes. God is the potter; we are the clay. It is as we learn to trust him that we find joy in even the darkest moments. — ISBN13: 9798324044053
