Title
Behind Grandma's Apron Strings: Stories of God's Grace and Mercy - Paperback
by Robert Loran Ford (Author)
God is much easier to find than we think. God wants us to find Him and works to make Himself known. Robert Ford's book, Behind Grandma's Apron Strings, reminds us that God is everywhere and wants to forgive and to meet our every need. Through this book of devotionals, Robert shows that there are lessons to be learned in daily events. Using colorful reflections of disappointments, triumphs, sorrows and joys, he shows us that God wants to help us see Him in a different light. These reflections of God will inspire us to be believers and more faithful followers of Him. When Robert faced the wrath and discipline of his grandfather, he hid behind his grandma's apron strings. What Robert found is what all of us are looking for from God. As struggling human beings we long for mercy and grace. God has the power to destroy, but longs to love us into being His faithful people. Robert's stories will inspire us to see God everywhere. As you read these intimate slices of Robert's life you will get to know Robert, but even more you will meet God and learn how much He wants to give what we so desperately need: His unconditional love, His bountiful forgiveness, and gracious mercy.

Eighteen months later he came home to retire from the Army with a Meritorious Service Medal and a Humanitarian Service Medal.
