The Holy Bible tells us that children are a blessing from the LORD. For this reason I honor mine in writing books about my experience with them.This book is based on real life events that took place in my life as a father. In fact, Lola inspired me to write this book six years ago after I nearly drowned while saving her from drowning. I couldn't swim, but neither would my baby drown, not as long as she had her dad standing there-who loves her unconditionally and without reproach, just as our heavenly Father loves us all.You can imagine life for any parent from that point on after witnessing their child drown while standing there with the knowledge of the words in which Jesus spoke unto His disciples when He said, "Those who love their life, should lose it, but if you lose it for My sake, you shall gain it."Yes! I believed the Lord, so I dove in to rescue my baby, and yes, I succeeded.I rescued Lola, but only by the grace of the LORD my God, and by calling on the only name in which one shall be saved by.All the way home, she kept her eyes only on me, her dad. She calls me her hero to this very day, but I know the real Hero and now she knows too.

It may be that this little book will be accepted of the Master and sent by him on a mission of helpfulness to some struggling lives.The aim of this book is to show how doctrine should become life; how promises should be rod and staff in the climber's hand; and how the Sunday-life should pour itself through all the week-days, making every hour bright with the radiance of heaven.It is dedicated to those who sincerely want to follow all the Scriptural precepts; and to realize in their own experience, all the joys, inspirations and comforts of true religion, and to fulfill in this world the meaning of life in all its splendor and possibility.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:James Russell Miller was born near Frankfort Springs, Pennsylvania, on the banks of the Big Traverse, which according to his biographer, John T.
