Book Cover & Preview Text
Definitions,
Miracle:
Event due to supernatural agency; remarkable event or object.
Wisdom:
Being wise, soundness of judgment in matters relating to life and conduct; knowledge, experience, learning
The definitions of two key words—Miracle and Wisdom—are included because they have many attributes in common. In writing this book and taking a serious look back I find that God has truly been at work in my life for decades.
God’s interventions, His influence, His outright control of the situations that have swirled around me during this period have been overwhelming; it is only now that His path in my life can be seen. At the time, all of this activity was very subtle and was metered out in small incremental steps and actions. I refer to these as miracles in my life and truly they are! “Events due to supernatural agency”
Don’t get me wrong I am just the average guy, as hard-headed and ego-driven as any of you out there reading this book. But God does own me; He has chosen me as one of His followers, (Scary ?). He has a purpose for me, something He has decided must be completed to support His Kingdom.
The Big Big Big Point!!!!
My belief is that I am not alone in this assignment, if you!—yes you!—look carefully back over your life no matter how long you have lived, you will see these miracles that are driving you toward a purpose.
No matter how hard you try to escape from your assignment, “you will not succeed.” Trust me, mainly out of stupidity I have tried for years as this book outlines. However, here I am writing to you, hopefully fulfilling at least a small part of the assignment that God has given me. I hear people say “They have been saved” or “I have come to Jesus,” my response, “you had nothing to do with it,” we have been chosen by God.
To use an old adage “you can do something the hard way or the easy way” but God’s purpose will win out. Is it possible that your individual struggles (free will) will be in direct proportion or correlation with how quickly you recognize and accept your assignment from God?
So now some great wisdom to share with you;
Open your eyes, (“let he who has eyes see”), open your ears, (“let he who has ears hear”), open your heart, (“love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind”) and accept your assignment, embrace it, and thank God for it. Remember He does not choose everyone.

About the Book
God has blessed my life with so many miracles it is hard to recall them all.
It is my hope that as you read this book you can relate to similar situations in your past and begin to see God at work in your life.
Who knows maybe you will begin to see and understand the miracles that He has done both large and small every day of your life.

About the Author
This Author is just an average guy; hard-headed, ego-driven, and as self-absorbed as any of you out there reading this book. I believe I am; a good Christian, a great Father, a terrific Husband, a better than average Businessman, and an outstanding Sailor (my hobby). The truth be known, I am probably pretty average in all of these areas.
“Some Wisdom”—being average is not as bad as it sounds; in fact it is not a bad thing at all. God has used average every day people throughout history. Just read the Bible, us average and even some of us below average people, are used by God to lead His people, build His Kingdom and do His work here in this world.
My very sincere hope is that because I am average, you who read this book will connect with all or part of my story. Through this connection or this understanding, I just might be able to help you find where God is at work in your life. If I am able to do that, I have achieved great success.
I have no idea if this book will reach 10 or 10 million people. All I know is God wanted this average everyday guy to write it. In doing so, I have grown closer to Him in my own personal journey.
My wish—no my prayer—is that my words will help you grow closer to God, who loves and cares about you more than my words could convey.
