THE POSSIBILITY THINKER’S BIBLE
(My Bible 2)
by Robert H Schuller and Paul David Dunn
Published by Thomas Nelson Publishers (1996)
Here are some notes (in point form), that I made many years ago in my Possibility Thinker’s Bible , when I was going through a rather difficult and dark period of my life. They tell of my early walk along the faith.
The wisdom in this book, the Holy Bible (and Dr Schuller’s Possibility Thinkers Bible) has served to sustain, encourage and even inspire me since that long time ago in the “deep valley.” Since those “dark days in the wilderness of life”, it has been my guiding star, my central source of divine inspiration.
Even though I’m still not what may be termed “religious” (way more “airey/fairey spiritually-minded”), I hope that these brief notes (which “lit the way through reflecting and shining a light on part of my journey, “the road less travelled”) may do the same to you through encouragement, upliftment and even inspiration too.
