This little book is actually the treasure chest of my heart. Into this treasure chest have gone all the precious things God has spoken to me and taught me over my lifetime. I cannot express in words the value I place on these truths. This is what I heard God say. This is what God taught me. These truths corrected me, rescued me, empowered me and motivated me. These precious truths are the dearest of old friends, friends even closer than brothers.

These are not shallow truths. Many were learned in the depths of emotional pain and great crisis. But they were deeper still and calmed my storms. They also represent the delightful fellowship of God’s instruction-delicious truth-morsels of food for the soul. Enjoy them. May they do for you what they have done for me. May they help you know God and Jesus Christ, his Son.
