Short Stories about My Best Friend: True Stories from Age Three to Eighty-Three

Part personal experience, part history with humor, part Christian teachings, and a narrative of two heavenly visits. This book is written to fill the reader with hope, joy, a little humor, and much encouragement. The starting narrative is a three-year-old showing her faith and trust in God. You find her walking and growing in God's Word and staying the course God planned for her long life on earth. These stories will fill the reader with a better understanding of God's voice and that God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit (one God) is willing and able to communicate with His people in many ways. Such as (1) speaking to you in an audible voice when no one else in the room hears Him speaking. (2) He speaks through dreams and visions. (3) He uses the power of the Holy Spirit speaking through His anointed messengers with tongues and interpretation. (4) His magnificent creation of heaven and earth bears witness, and He speaks through His written Scriptures: reading your Bible. God can send an angel dressed as an everyday person with a message, and you are unaware that an angel is visiting you. Yes, God speaks to people today, and we can be in constant communication with Him. Our job is to listen and have faith: God calls us to be available and faithful. A sinner saved by grace is how Betty describes herself. She met Jesus at the age of three. Her first church responsibility was as a church organist and youth choir director. After receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1979, she realized her place in the body was that of the "unidentified minstrel" (2 Kings 3:15). She plays her instrument and the Holy Spirit ministers. God also gifted Betty as a teacher of golden nuggets from His Word. She is licensed and ordained through Kingsway Fellowship of Des Moines, Iowa. Betty has been associated locally with Fisherman's Net Ministries for twenty-five years under the leadership of Rev. Annetta Durst.
