Book Description
Nothing we do, by choice or necessity, is insignificant. Such moments, whether good or bad, sad or joyful, remembered or forgotten, are the stories of our lives and make up the fabric of who we are. In Look Back Wisely, Look Ahead Decisively, the author and teacher Gordon Kainer shares the "small" happenings in his life that turn out to be unforgettable and life-changing. In so doing, he shows how God, in His own time and way, comes through for those who trust in Him. The three sections of the book are titled "My Story" chronicles ofthe author's life, "His Story" the good news of Jesus Christ, and "Our Story" an account of their grace-based relationship. In this unique format, Kainer ably demonstrates that those who look back wisely are thus empowered to look ahead decisively. Young adults, youth leaders, educators, parents, and pastors will be inspired by his anecdotal, practical, and devotional spirituality, as well as enlightened by a meaningful and persuasive look at contemporary moral issues. In Look Back Wisely, Look Ahead Decisively, down-to-earth stories will capture your attention, and provide helpful insights into everyday living and firsthand evidence of God's love, grace, and providential guidance. Kainer effectively challenges us to take a selfanalyzing journey a reflective look at our own lives and find the value, worth, and purpose of our experiences.
