Author Description

Stepping Stones is the testimony of one who has learned to walk by faith. It is always easy to look back and see the path that one has followed; it is not so easy to know the pathway ahead. Our author looks back over more than half a century walking with His Lord, to see the many ‘coincidences’ of life that he has come to recognize, were really God instances. From being a teacher with a big salary to being a pastor with ‘half’ salary to being a missionary (with no salary) and then an itinerant preacher/teacher (often paying his own way), the journey has been an exciting one, even if in an opposite direction to the desired advancement that others may seek. The stories are told to encourage others to recognize the times the Lord may have intervened in their lives and, through such stories, to bring praise to the One who so leads His children. We may never hear Him say aloud “This is the way, walk ye in it”, but it is evident that our souls can hear Him speak in a quiet inner voice. Decisions that we think we are making may often be already programmed by the Lord. This is truly what faith is – hearing an inner voice and obeying it.
