Eighth of a Tank: One Family's Journey of Faith, (Paperback)

Have you ever wondered if God was really there? Does He really care about your wife, kids, daily life, intimate details? You've read in the Bible how He counts every hair on your head or every sparrow. But with all the turmoil found in this 21st century, does He still care? Is Jesus Christ real, and does He really interact with us? Is He really concerned of my day to day? This book, originally written as a family newsletter in 2012 and now in first time print, will provide a detailed account of how the Creator, Savior, and Lord of all the universe has intimately and specifically provided every detail for a family consisting of 5 children, a pregnant wife, and a carpenter who have simply trusted Jesus Christ with child-like faith for their every need and direction. Just as a million of former slaves followed a flame in the desert wilderness, just as a German living in industrial England with thousands of orphans, just as a British doctor in inland China facing death daily during the Boxer Rebellion, this family's story is no different. They all lived by this one simple principle found in Hebrews 11:6: Without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him. This story captures the struggles and victories of God's provisions in their lives as they followed the call of Jesus Christ to come and follow, leaving EVERYTHING behind. The overall theme is this: Follow the Lord blindly, not because you are weak-minded, but because He is so master-minded. - Leanne Talshahar, Author of Eighth of a Tank
