This book..."Stories of a Carpenter"... is just exactly that. Dave, a carpenter, as was Jesus, has experienced more than his share of joy along with heartbreak. If you feel that you are the only one that may have survived some unbearable situations, you are not alone. You will read about the heart of God as He worked through Dave in order to get his daughter's attention, and the heartbreak of abuse by friends and family members, as well as a couple of stories of several automobile accidents of which he survived. He also shares some supernatural experiences of how God worked in and through him. He has been on missionary trips internationally, seen God raise people from the dead, prayed over people to see them healed by the wonder working power of Jesus, and so much more. Incorporated with his real-life stories are teachings on how you can learn to walk through this life in a more meaningful way by increasing or renewing your relationship with God. Dave has spent countless hours reading scripture, listening to teachings on his tape player, listening to a wide variety of Pastor's sermons, having hands on experience in street ministry, preaching from the pulpit, and also taught classes on deliverance ministry. He has been used by God in powerful ways, and is able to share some of these teachings that he has learned throughout personal years of experience.
