Chris Klicka, Power Perfected in Weakness
I just finished reading Chris Klicka's book, Power Perfected in Weakness, this morning. It was such an amazing book! My mom bought this book soon after it came out and she read it right away. After she was finished, my sister and my dad both read it. All three of them said it was an aweseome book and that I would really like it. Well, they were definitely right. I have to admit that it wasn't the easiest book in the world for me to get through (it's a real "tearjerker" ;), but I certainly had no regrets about it! It was very eye-opening and encouraging to us all as we read of the amazing influence Chris had on such a great amount of people. Even in the midst of his dibilitating disease and many other trials, he never failed to shine the light of Jesus to everyone he came in contact with. He truly made the most of every opportunity, and I found it a huge encouragement as we've been facing our own similar trials with my dad's illness. :)
Anyway, if you haven't read this book... you should! :-)
"Blessed is he who has regard for the weak;
the LORD delivers him in times of trouble.
The LORD will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and
restore him from his bed of illness."
Psalm 41:1-3
Praise the Lord for being our Sustainer...
Praise the Lord all the earth! :)

I'm so glad that God allows us to learn from and be encouraged by stories of prayer and faith in Jesus Christ. The six previous books I mentioned may have been written by human hands, but we all know who the real Author is. :) God is the one responsible for those stories--and that's what makes them so worth reading to me!
