Treasure Trove in Passing Vessels

"Every person has at least ten-plus stories inside," says author Dave Harris, who lives in Poulsbo, Washington, after years of international traveling with the Air Force and Army Corps of Engineers, teaching college, writing, and earning his master''s degree in mass communication from the University of Denver. In Treasure Trove in Passing Vessels, he introduces intriguing people and experiences he''s encountered internationally over six decades.

Presenting these concise, true tales has been Dave''s lifelong goal. Herein are observations through eyes of common people "ravished by the glory of God." These stories trigger your recollections where you''ll see God moving in unusual or amusing ways. The stories lead you to take your own spiritual temperature.

If you find yourself skipping stories with spiritual overtones, it''s not spirituality that you avoid, but God. If you avoid God, ask yourself if you are running to or from something, and gather more facts. One chooses a destiny-spiritual intimacy with or separation from God, beginning now-by the kind of companionship and interests we prefer daily. Gentleman God forces nobody to spend time with Him-now or forever. But He cherishes moments with sons and daughters, His own handiwork. What stories and destiny describe you?
