Love you,Kwik(but keep trying ......give him a Bible to read) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband was challenged to read "The Late Great Planet Earth" by a guy who witnessed to him while he was a traveling salesman. Instead he went back to his motel and started reading the Gideons Bible that had been left in his room. The Holy Spirit was drawing him and he couldn't put it down. Of course he started reading in Genesis. But the Spirit continued to draw him and soon he started going to church as well. Sometimes being challenged does more to break down resistance than anything else, especially if you are male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
