Opis

My wife Joy and I first met back in May of 2010 when she was referred to us for publication of her first book. Over the first couple years we had published 4 books for Sister Joy. When she invited me to go to church with her, I had picked her up and we were driving west out of town. A couple blocks later I saw a sign that read, "Young At Heart" outside a rather large nice looking building. I asked Joy if that were a youth meeting place? She said, "No, that is a Senior Citizens Place." I told her that it looked like a good place to have Bible Study and Prayer Meetings. She said they do have Bible Study there. That was about 3 years ago. Last August Joy and I were married and February of this year 2014 we were asked by one of the local ministers if we would have Bible Study at the Young At Heart building? We said we would be honored to do it. The 1st week, only Joy and I came to the Bible Study and Prayer Meeting. The 2nd and 3rd weeks were the same. We continued hoping the people who were at the building playing cards would see our consistency and join us as we did indeed invite them each week before we would start. We would meet for about 11/2 hour each time. Then on the 4th week, Joys sister came to join us. About the 7th week Sister Nora was out of town in Florida and Joy and I were again the only ones there. This week The Lord prompted us to read the longest chapter in the Holy Bible. We did and Joy was surprised that it didn't take very long to read it... She would read and then I would read and we kept switching back and forth. After we discussed what we had just read, I explained how The Lord had me to publish The Book of Revelation to show that it is not that hard to read and to understand. We had no-more than read this longest chapter in the Holy Bible, discussed it and had our discussion about The Book of Revelation when again The Lord spoke to me and said, "Charles... Publish this chapter into a book and call it 119 " So... You are now reading the longest chapter in The Holy Bible and we hope you too see that it is not that hard to read the longest chapter and understand it. May we suggest that before you read this or any book in The Holy Bible or any other book about The Holy Bible, you would be well advised to pray first and ask the Author of The Book; The Holy Bible, to open your understanding and to allow you to become knowledgeable and give you wisdom as you read. We have done that for years and we learn each and every day. God does want us to read His Holy Word and He wants to teach us so very much Now; almost 5 years later, we must continue to share these same thoughts with you the reader of this book. You see back then The Lord told us, "Charles... They wouldn't read My Big Book... But they will read your little books " So we continue to publish books. To date we have published over 215 books and God brings us new author after new author. Your Book Could Be Next You must understand... We are no one special. In the 1st grade of school, we were actually put in the corner of the room while the other kids were in reading circle. It seems I just could not read as a 1st grader. They even held me back for a 2nd year to try to help me to learn to read. I can still remember those troubling words, "Run Jack Run" and "See The Cat" and "See Billy Walk" but when I got to antidisestablishmentarianism... I was really lost (Just kidding). I made it all the way to 6th grade and the teacher told my Mom, if I didn't go to summer school, I would fail the 7th grade. Well Praise God, He had other plans for me. I didn't fail the 7th grade and I didn't go to summer school either and made it through high school. Got a job at the local Air Force Base and 2 years later was drafted into the United States Army. In the 3rd grade, I saw a boy cheating on his spelling test. I watched several weeks and decided to try it myself. Well guess what happened? I didn't get caught either. My grade card reflected an improvement
