My walk with God has been marked with real life-changing encounters initiated by God. Little by little God transformed my heart, and I was renewed by what I call "inside miracles." In the twinkling of an eye, God worked miracles in my heart that set me free from bondage and sin. These were significant deliverances and turning points in my spiritual growth as God quite simply and profoundly stepped into areas of my life that he needed to deal with. In my ignorance, God met with me and renewed my life. This is the story of an ignorant person who God deemed relevant to touch and set free in specific life areas in his way and in his time, from miraculous salvation experiences to dealing with me step-by-step over an approximate thirty-year period and finally setting me free from the deep dark dog of depression. It is a book to encourage hanging in there with your Christian walk and to highlight that, by the grace of God and in his time, there can be deliverance, freedom, and renewal.
“In a world of slogans, tweets, and unreflective talk, a breath
of fresh air is a story. And this is particularly so, when the
story is told with honesty, simplicity, and humor. Paul Cummings’
recounting of his encounter with some non-mainstream Christians
demonstrates that there is no predictable way to finding God and
living the Christian life. God works in mysterious ways. This is
the message of the book. And as such, it can be placed in the hands
of all who are seeking but don't quite know where they are going.
Like Paul, they may well find the great treasure!”
—Charles Ringma, founder of Teen Challenge in Australia, Professor
Emeritus, Regent College, author of Hear the Ancient Wisdom
and Of Martyrs, Monks, and Mystics
“An innocent man walks alone and perhaps not on a great search, but
the great search finds him. Peculiar people in a peculiar way help
him find Jesus, who helps him find the Father and then to find
himself. Jesus takes his hand as they find his future life and his
future wife. In the twinkling of an eye Paul also finds our hearts
and takes us with him.”
—Paul O’Sullivan, Senior Pastor, Northern Beaches Christian Centre,
NSW Australia
