Living is what everybody does. Life, we're told, is what happens when you're making other plans. Learning from living comes from looking—at everything. The more you see the more you learn. But living in the late twentieth century is a dangerous occupation. And learners can be sidelined by the fear of what lies up ahead. Not so with the chosen people of biblical times. Remembering the ground over which God brought them gave comfort in reflection, and encouragement in anticipation. Memories became monuments to God's faithfulness, and motivation for their future.
Refreshment by reminiscence is the purpose of this book. Walk with Howard and Jeanne Hendricks through the pages of their past. Remember with them the early days of marriage, their experiences as family managers, their renewed challenges after the kids left home. Laugh with them, cry with them, grow with them, learn from them as they recount the works of a faithful God in their family history. They tell it like it was, so that you the reader will see life as it is.. .and can be.
