Have you ever felt like a failure? John D. Atkinson sure has. At age seventy, he was plagued by the belief that he had failed God. Oh, he had plenty of reasons to think otherwise. He had pastored small churches while sacrificially working part-time jobs to make ends meet. He had started an orphanage and Christian schools. He had evangelized gang members who wanted him dead. He had even led a world-famous entertainer, Sammy Davis Jr., to Jesus. But his biggest failures--a broken marriage and bankruptcy--had smothered any hope that God was pleased with him. On his seventieth birthday, though, John got the surprise of his life: an amazing "present" from God--a glimpse of his past that radically changed his future. With Just a Glimpse, you'll see why your labor in the Lord isn't in vain. It will ignite your faith, and you'll be inspired to finish the work God called you to do.
