From the Cradle to the Cross

A 365 Day Morning Prayer Devotional

Beschreibung

In George's book, "From the Cradle to the Cross, A 365 Day Morning Prayer Devotional," one will find God speaking to the reader through Scripture and the reader speaking to God through personal prayer. The prayers are filled with Praising the Lord for who He is and what He has done and is doing even now in the servant's life. It includes prayer for Protection, as God is a Providential Care Giver. It provides prayers for Guidance of the Holy Spirit in our daily life and for the Power and Strength to live a life that would glorify God daily. As I read George's book, I first read a Scripture passage, the Word of God. But when I read the prayer that followed, I soon realized that I was reading the words penned from a servant's heart to his Lord, Jesus Christ. Through our volunteer program at our jail, George was able to touch many inmates' lives with the love of Christ. But make no mistake, his book is meant for each of us, not just for those who are incarcerated. For we are all children of God in need of His love and grace. George's devotional is his personal testimony and his desire to touch others for Christ. May you be blessed as you read these daily prayers. Pastor Mark A.

Raised as a Lutheran in Brooklyn, New York, George H. Brooks holds a BA in Journalism from Texas State University. He is not an ordained minister, nor does he have any credentials in biblical theology. He is simply a sinner saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and the grace of the Almighty God. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior as a child at the age of 8 years old. As with any child at that age, he did not understand the scope of his decision that day. Subsequently, he entered his teen years and then adulthood unprepared for the onslaught of temptations Satan was about to rain upon him. During his life, he served in the United States Army as a Combat Medic/Medical Corpsman on Korea's DMZ in 1969. He then served as a Medical Corpsman in an Evacuation Hospital in Vietnam in 1971. His adult life found him succumbing to many temptations of this world and other sins that are offensive to God. While he went through these temptations, he was constantly reminded of his mother's faith in God's promises and the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He always felt God had a particular purpose for his life but struggled to find his true calling. It took years of personal trials and obstacles before he allowed himself to be pruned by God so the fruits of the Holy Spirit could spring forth in his life. This devotional, "From the Cradle to the Cross, A 365 Day Morning Prayer Devotional," is a testimony of his life. A life riddled with sin but found redemption and forgiveness through his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He has said this devotional could not have been written if the Holy Spirit was not present within him. While still facing temptations of this world, his hope for you, as you read the prayers in this devotional, is that you will come to see the reality of sin in his life. And how it may be present in your life as well. His hope for you is that you will surrender your heart and will over to Christ. And to allow yourself to become an instrument of God's grace and love not only to yourself but also to your fellow man.
