“I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH”

About the Book

Foreword:

By: daughter: Deborah Dawn Anderson Chase

As the oldest of the six children of Albert E and Aimee D Anderson, I have always seemed to carry the torch for our family legacy. I have “great” and “awesome” memories of the many sermons my dad preached throughout his years of ministry in the pulpit, as well as the “many” sermons that were preached to us kids before and during our times of discipline after doing something we were told not to do! Both were invaluable in my upbringing; and I will always be grateful for that.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this book will be an invaluable tool for the “new” Christian just beginning his journey, the “seasoned” Christian wanting a deeper walk with the Lord, or the person that is simply “searching” for something that is missing in their lives! Jesus wants to be sought after by all humanity; and it is only after finding “HIM” the giver of life, that true happiness lies. May you be as blessed reading this book as I was living it day in and day out!
