Faithfulness-the Surprising Key to a Life of Joy and Meaning By David Bruce Linn  Published by Xulon Press, 2007. Edited by Jeanette Morris Description: A moving story of young love, heartache, friendship, and war entwined with 33 insightful Bible studies on walking with Christ through the battles of life. Each chapter is designed to leave you with joy in your heart, a tear in your eye, and a fresh sense of Christ's purpose for your life. Editor's Comments: By the fall of 2005, I wondered if I could bear the pain of any more losses: my 25-year career ended in April, my church of 15 years closed in August, and my sister's husband of 26 years died in an accident. Enter Pastor David Linn from Rochester, New York, and his book, Faithfulness- the Surprising Key to a Life of Joy and Meaning. Through his fictional story of Boxer and Patch, a solider and a nurse on the WWII front in rural Belgium, and the biblical applications to each chapter, God was indeed faithful to me. He encouraged me, edified me, and held me close while I wept at each poignant moment of promise and redemption...even after the third editing pass! God knew I needed a fill-in pastor; He provided. God knew I needed to be useful; He provided. God knew that I needed to fend-off depression; He provided. Even before I started editing, Pastor Dave gave me the highest compliment I have ever received: "You have a well-formed Christian mind." Glory to God! In my weakness, Jesus could shine.
