God's Hook

-  God's Hook is a 350 page book about Biblical faith (or Christian faith), which is all through the Bible...Abraham's faith being a prime example. (Also see God's Rock another of Ron's books.) God's Hook contains chapters on Faith and Authority, Covenant Promises, and the Heart of a Christian. Also it  contains Bible stories of Jacob Caleb, Gideon, Balaam the Prophet, Jonah, Mary and the Magi, Ruth and Naomi, Peter walking on the water, and other stories.
   I picked up from the Apostle Paul  the  phrase  'walking in faith' or 'faith-walk' because Paul's writings have had much influence on Barbara and me in our ongoing life.
    In trying to describe Biblical faith, soon I realized that our 'walk of faith' and my trying to describe it and/or define it from scripture was inadequate. My study had taken me into the Old Testament where I came across stories of Bible characters in their relationships with God, the most significant being the Exodus Epoch and the life of Moses. It was difficult to rationalize my walk with that of the great Moses, but I found comfort in many passages. It was when I found the same comfort in lesser stories that I realized that the concept of faith portrayed in the smaller Bible stories connected much better with me, and that they would do the same with others who might benefit from my studies. I concluded that the Bible does not "define" faith, rather it portrays faith for us in the lives of men and women who experienced God.
    Eventually God's Hook was born and amazingly it grew and grew. At the end of the second winter the initial manuscript was done. When the next fall arrived a new study and writing began about the Exodus Epoch, which took four years before the initial manuscript was finished, whereupon it was decided to include about one hundred pages of appendixes with maps of the research.
    Following years were given to more Bible study, but I found time to rewrite and edit both books several times. Eventually the time arrived to consider publishing the books.
   During the years of study and rewriting God had provided enough for our family's living. And during those years good software tools were becoming available on the Internet, many of them free and continually improving, which have provided much help in setting up the manuscripts for printing, then designing the covers, and now designing this website. The number of "learning curves" to wade through to use such tools enough to do the work has been essential, but they have made for diversions that would cheerfully have been left to others. Indeed, God has provided all for us to get us to this point which the visitor sees before him.

-   The concept of "Christian Wilderness Press" for our publishing name is based upon all that God was doing with His people for forty years in the wilderness. He was doing many and marvelous things in every Israelite; and even as He was punishing the first Exodus generation for their rebellion, He was preparing the second Exodus generation for victorious battles and the receiving of inheritances as  initially promised to Abraham.
  -   I have studied scripture for many years and these books are sharings of some of my lengthy studies.
    On the 'Bible Studies' page are brief studies for sharing with the visitor. Read of Barbara and me on the 'Ron and Barbara' page.
