Don’t forget Him

May 29th, 2007

Hello all,
I was awake in the night and I was prompted by God to get up and read a book. It was a Bible study book by Jack Hayford called, “Gifts, Fruit and Fullness of the Holy Spirit”.

My favourite tract

May 25th, 2007

One of my favourite tracts I use is the one called “Journey into life” by Norman Warren. I have to admit though that I am a bit biased as it is the one I read many years ago which brought me to Christ!
