Time Only Will Tell

Book Cover & Preview Text
When his eyes fell on the girl standing before him, his mind began a race backwards through his life. As if out of control, his memory recalled the past couple of years at the truck shop, the five years in aviation and on backwards through the time in Terrebonne as pastor of the church. His years at the mill and his marriage to Cheryl whizzed by, as did his time in Korea. His walk down the sawdust trail was like a drag race. Jo-Hanson flashed by even faster, but then as a loaded truck that had come to a steep hill, his mind slowed to take him through a miserable trial, the death of his wife and on back to the very time he had quit Eb Stukas. His face had shown clearly the expression of the scenes before him, but now his mind began to move forward again.

About the Book
Earl Meadows grew up with a lineage that was very strong spiritually, mentally and emotionally, so when he went to work on a large cattle ranch at the age of thirteen he took that heritage with him. Not understanding that the rain falls on the just and the unjust alike (Matthew 5:45), he believed he had the world and life by the tail until personal tragedy struck in such a way that he was unable to handle it. Trying to follow in the footsteps of his Grandpa, he pursues the ministry but the path leads him all down hill until, when hope is almost gone, he walks the sawdust trail that his Grandpa spoke so emphatically about. At this point, Earl gains the ability to face problems even though he does not have the answers. It is a long hard trek back up the emotional hill for Earl, but he is determined to not let the troubles and questions of the past over take him. Many years pass when he is unexpectedly rewarded in a way that time only would be able to reveal and he regains the claim on his heritage with a fresh, new understanding of life itself. "All things work together for the good of them that love God and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
About the Author
Douglas E. Wiese was raised in the shadow of a German speaking, mighty man of God in the person of his paternal grandfather. Doug’s own father followed similar footsteps as a circuit preacher and Bible teacher. Doug himself pursued the ministry, but his life was headed down hill fast until he came to realize that a personal acquaintance and relationship with Jesus Christ is a must for a victorious life. Doug’s financial life has included several professions but mostly that of a truck driver. He has pastored churches in California and Oregon and has traveled as a revival evangelist. At this writing Doug is in a mobile truck stop chapel endeavor named "G. M. C." (Gospel Mobile Chapel). Doug is not concerned much about denominational doctrine, but in pushing that personal relationship with Jesus Christ wherever he can.
