A book is nothing more than words on pages that have been bound together. That is true, unless, of course, you pick the book up and begin to read it. Then that book begins to take on a life of its own. As you ponder its meaning, it lives inside you and shapes your outlook, your attitude, your perspective, your very heart.
Why is that true? Why do books influence people? I think it is true because people are social creatures by nature. We enjoy visiting with each other. We seek to know what others are thinking. Another's true feelings enrich our lives. When we read, we sense that we are somehow getting in on the inside of a person's heart. And we are! The pen of the author gives our world view new dimensions. It is something personal. It is something precious.
Someone has said, "It is easy to write. Just sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." Dr. David Davis has done just that. He has opened a vein and we are the richer for it. Through these pages you will read spiritual truths from a master storyteller. You will see into the storyteller's heart; but more importantly, you will get a fresh glimpse into the heart of God.
You will also see God in a way that you may have never imagined...personal, caring, loving, and significantly ... still on the throne, not only of the world, but of your life as well. May these pages reflect the nature and character of God that will prove to be an encouragement to you each day that you live for Him. We do serve a God with A Name You Can Trust!
