As a pastor for over 35 years at the church he helped start, Joe Duke wasn't completely prepared for the range of emotions he would experience as he stepped away from that role. The stories, the people, the miracles, the ups and downs are all reminders of God’s past faithfulness. Reflections is a book about words—words spoken and written over decades of ministry. Words from a seasoned pastor intended to inspire, challenge, and encourage you. Words reminding us that there is nothing as good as the grace of God.The truths you read in this book were lived before they were written down. That’s because learning from God can be an arduous and lengthy process. It takes time and diligence to understand what God is saying and doing.This book is probably not best read in one sitting. The pearls of wisdom and thought-provoking insights are meant to be read and digested slowly. Read this book devotionally and not in a hurry. And if you do, you’ll find yourself being drawn to the greatness and trustworthiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. And you’ll be prompted to ask, “How can I please God more completely with my life?”
