The Bark of a Tree (ePub)

Have you ever known someone who was an unforgettable person who changed the course of your life? Did you ever wonder if the calling of God is real? How about experiencing the presence of angels in a room before they usher a saint to heaven? Or a love story that had a very unusual beginning. What about some very interesting funeral stories?
These are lighthearted and personal stories told about a man of God who had a lasting impact in the lives of thousands. No, not a Billy Graham or even a Joel Osteen kind of impact but an impact from a local church in a small town in Texas, squeezed between two major cities and led by a man who had multiple layers of talents and abilities. He was just like the protective covering of a bark on a tree that protects from storms, wind, rain, and gives life and shelter.
This generation of pastors were tough, determined, full of grit, and obsessed with telling the world of God's unfailing love. Dr. Earl K. Oldham wasn't just a pastor, preacher, boss, author, educator, father, husband, and friend; he was an instrument of God used to change lives, bring hope to the hopeless, train others to share the gospel, and share God's plan of eternal life.
So no. If you're looking for a book that is about a giant that everyone knows, this is not the read for you. But if you're looking to see how God can use a man fully surrendered to him and you like a giggle here and there, well, keep reading.
