Just as Ruth gleaned in the fields of Boaz I have gleaned in the fields of my life. This is a collection of short thought provoking readings. Many are really worth remembering and thinking about. Such as:"Faith honors God, God honors faith."I have included some Bible facts, some of which are almost obscure from today's Biblical writings. Heartwarming sayings that will bring back memories and simple verses that explain deep subjects. And a wee bit of humor, especially an epitaph. Gleanings, by Larry Robinson is indicative of in-depth listening to many minister's messages, and their impact upon his life. The material he has "gleaned", and shared, is very inspirational, thought provoking, and hopefully, useful in messages and presentations in years to come. It may be used with confidence of effectiveness in other lives, as it was in Larry's.Dr. John F. Hay, District Superintendent Emeritus, Church of the Nazarene

God rejected Cain's offering. Cain responded with anger and depression. An amazing thing about God's counsel to Cain is found in what God did not say. God did not say anything specifically about Cain's offering? There was something much more important at stake. Through its discussion of this biblical lesson and others, More Than The Gift challenges readers to reexamine their perspective on Christian giving and to consider the proposition that Christian giving always has been and continues to be about much more than the gift itself.
