Book Cover & Preview Text
As we travel along the road of our life journey, there are two important mile makers along the way. The first is the point in our life journey when we recognize that there is a right way and a wrong way, we realize that we have the ability to choose between the two, and we understand that there are consequences to our choices. Some faith communities refer to this point in our life journey as the age of accountability. If we recognize, realize, and understand the concept of right and wrong, we are accountable for our decisions.The second important mile marker is when we are offered a road hazard package called grace, a package that is offered to us free of charge, with no pre-approval required, and no restrictions because of pre-existing conditions. As a matter of fact, it is the pre-existing condition of our life that qualifies us for the package. It is free of charge because it has been prepaid by God in Christ.

About the Book
Alan Schmitt has worn many hats in his sixty-plus years of life experiences. He served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam conflict. For the past forty years, he has served in pastoral ministry, education, sales, marketing, and corporate administration. Most of his experience has been as a local pastor. Alan has been married for forty-five years and has two grown daughters and five grandchildren. His favorite passage of scripture, what he considers his life credo, is Isaiah 40:28-31 (NKJV): “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
