Book Cover & Preview Text
This book is the end result of a year off to reflect on the thoughts and choices of one life. Prepare to search deeper than usual to find what is hidden under the surface. It’s easy to see what stands before us. It is much more difficult to try to see the meaning of what stands before us and how it came to be. Only my wife of thirty years who stood by my side has witnessed the things I’m about to share. I have been blessed my whole life to a point where at times I feel guilty to be so blessed. I have often wondered why, especially when I see someone who, through no fault of their own, endured unbelievable hardships. Few people have spent so much time figuring out why things are so good as I have. Most I talk to are trying to figure out why things are so bad. The more I studied the farther back I had to dig. When I started understanding what led me here, I felt the need to share this with others. I turned to Him for advice and knew it needed to be in the simplest terms to reach the most hearts and minds. I struggled, as most do, to find big impressive words I decided just to put it in the simplest of forms. This is an attempt to introduce you to God as one man was introduced to Him: in a manner a child understands.

About the Author
Gary R. McCree was born and raised in Southern Illinois, where he lived forty-nine years and has been married for thirty. He has two beautiful children and one grandchild. He doesn’t consider himself a prophet, poet, writer, dreamer, or preacher. To put it in his own words, “I am just one person living in today’s world. This is not an autobiography. It is an account of how I came to connect the dots in my search for the truth. I live, work, and play in the outdoors. Although I have been a carpenter for twenty-seven years, a waterfowl guide for twenty-three years, a ball player for seven years, coach for ten years, and a business owner for twenty-three years, I am none of those things. I’m just a man. In my lifetime, my titles have included owner, manager, coach, photographer, guide, as well as husband, father, grandpa, friend, writer, painter, producer, editor, pro-staffer, guest speaker, call-maker, calling champion, carpenter, lawn guy, and babysitter. All those things still only add up to just what I am, and that would be one man. One man in a world of many!”
