Tragedy and brokenness often take a person to the bottom of life to
where they may then choose to look up to God for assistance and may
thus be able to see the results of God moving in a particular
situation. This book takes the reader from having a life-changing
experience when meeting Jesus, through a tragic helicopter crash,
to seeing ministering angels, to taking a trip to heaven, to a
particular whirlwind and to a heavenly light lighting a dark path.
Several key scriptures taken from the book of Matthew are presented
as "keys to the Kingdom of Heaven," using the Geneva Bible, which
until recently, had been lost from the Christian world for nearly
four hundred years. The Geneva Bible, which was the Bible used by
our first pilgrims in the United States had a more personal and
narrower approach to the Kingdom of Heaven. Ronald McClure is a
notable observer and admirer of God's handy-work in nature, of
which he has written books and recorded songs about. He is the
proud daddy of five grown children, of whom he always felt that God
"first" called him to be a good father. Mr. McClure is a 1980
graduate of East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas. While
being an avid student of the Bible, Ronald has worked in
agriculture, drove trucks, drilled for oil in the Gulf of Mexico,
owned and operated a TV repair shop and has spent more than a
decade as a security officer within the Texas Department of

music CDs.

"What is a WOW?" you may ask. Some may call an awesome event that
happens in their life, "divine intervention," while others may
simply say, "I had good luck - the timing was just right for me."
My belief is that God, our heavenly Father, intervenes in our lives
and in our circumstances. King David says in the Psalms, "I called
on the Lord in my time of need and He heard and answered me." Also,
in Nahum 1:7 the writer says, "The Lord is good, a strong-hold in
the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in Him." I hope
you enjoy these WOW experiences.
God sometimes sends what we may call "circumstances" our way so
that we might turn to Him. God is personable, and He deals with
each of us in an individual and unique way. A near death experience
sometimes reveals God's hand at work, but how do we share such an
event with someone so that they can see what we have been through?
Prayer and fasting brings results, but how can we share what we
have seen? When the world around us falls apart and God reveals
himself, how can someone else begin to understand what we have been
through? We can see God working even in the little things, but how
can we share what we have seen with other people? Have you ever
seen a situation where you saw God's hand at work, but you had a
hard time sharing the experience of what you saw with other people?
Read along with the author and share some of his experiences of
seeing God's hand at work - when becoming a Christian, during
tragedies, after prayer and fasting and in everyday situations.
