tures started like many other books, quite innocently. I have been an amateur photographer since high school and entered a profession that would take me to places beyond my wildest dreams. I became a professional pilot. So over the last fifty years, I have been taking photographs of God's creation from all over the world.

One afternoon, Pastor John Rauh and his wife, Laverne, were visiting; and they were looking at some of my photography books and suggested that I should have some of my photos published. I had never given any thought to this idea. That was until July 27, 2020!

Maybe I finally found a way I could give back a little something to others, for all the incredible and stunning sights I've witnessed in my travels. We would pick interesting photographs and select Bible verses that fit the pictures. People could now take a minute and see the wonderment of our God and reflect on His message with the picture.

People are so busy, stressed, and frazzled today, and they fail to see the beauty that is right before their very eyes. Few people read the Bible today that they don't realize help is right in front of them. With this book, maybe they will slow down and take a few minutes to look at the photographs, reflect on God's message, and find a moment of peace!
