Description

Snow was flying. The roads were slick. It was shivering cold. But on the up side, I took a brief nonscientific poll of people I met, and not one had been bitten by a mosquito all day. There is always something for which one can be thankful.

Ever the positive thinker, Don C. Schneider, president of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, wants to motivate ordinary people to do whatever they can to make a difference in their world. This book exists because a faithful Adventist layperson never gave up on a family that seemed “spiritually challenged.”

Now the son of that family is looking for encouragers who affirm the importance of those who feel worthless; who love wandering sheep back into the fold. Men and women of integrity who, knowing something bad about you, would never tell it. Positive people who refuse to dwell on slights. Risk takers who dare for God. Get a life! says the author.

Stop griping about the defects in Christ’s bride, the church, and start working to increase the groom’s market share over the devil. Become a member of the Aaron and Hur club, and hold up the hands of the leaders.

Dispense the medicine of prayer and the balm of caring, and watch people get happy that you are alive.
