Synopsis "Little Book of Harvests Devotional (in English)"
Book of Harvests Devotional is the third in a series about the principles of sowing and reaping in the Bible. The first book "Reaping-Recession Proof Approach to Gathering Bountiful Harvests," is a study of the biblical ideas, and how they apply to our everyday lives. There are plenty of footnotes to refer the scholars to the scriptures. And plenty of analysis and interpretation for the thoughtful. REAPING-Harvest Card Edition contains more exegesis, but this volume has more harvest cards. This book is an effort to publish the harvest promises that I have discovered, and to present them in a format that encourages study, praise, prayer, worship and hope."Reaping-Harvest Card Edition," is the second book I published about sowing and reaping. But this book has something the first book didn't have: harvest cards. But not all of them. Since the publication of this edition, I have "discovered" more promises in the Bible related to sowing and reaping, reaping a harvest.So how did I get to this volume, "Book of Harvests Devotional"? The true story centers around my very first book reading at a wonderful book store in Columbus, Ohio. There is a table in the back of the volume on recession-proof-reaping, that was the result of my research. It's not a really good table, and I questioned whether it should be in the book at all.So when I prepared my presentation, I took some of what I believed to be the most inspirational cards--"love" for example--and prepared to talk from those cards during the reading.During the presentation, when I finished with my 4x6 typed index card, I just threw it down on the little table in front of me.When the reading was concluded, and I stood talking to my listeners (and buyers!), first one, then another, then another, almost whispered, "May I have that card?"Of course they could! But my face was a question mark. More than one of them confessed, "That one spoke to me. It spoke to my heart. It was for me."I believe that's what God intended. As I have ministered from the book (I have a powerpoint presentation that I have preached from), I have discovered that the harvest cards (that's what I named them) are as appealing as the book!I have a friend who likes to place them near her computer at home. When she sits to work, her eyes often wander to a card, or cards, and she uses that time as a portion of her devotions.See where this is going? It has taken me some time, but I have amassed more cards, because I found more harvests in the Bible. More harvests that come from more sowing that God wanted us to know all about.So rather than just write another volume, I put together a volume on the subject that wrote itself. A shortcut for what is there in Scripture for all of us to see, and use, and from which we can grow and prosper.Enjoy!
