WRITING ROOTS
Like any who is awed by God’s creation can attest, God reveals Himself and sets us on a journey of discovery that brings us by the revelation of God’s Word, to the very heart of God. David’s love of Scripture, has been strengthened by years of home Bible Study groups which brought insight on Bible passages and confirmation of God working in the lives of His people. Hours of sitting with brothers and sisters pouring over Scripture helped put flesh on the bones and blood in the veins of the men and women of the Bible. Real people who struggled with sin and doubt. Men who failed God time and again, yet by the grace of God were victorious and today wear the victor’s crown. It is David’s hope that his stories awaken the seed of revelation God planted in the reader’s heart, provides a fresh love for the fathers of our faith and brings hope to a new generation.
