Book Cover & Preview Text
I cannot explain how wonderful it felt to be so close to the Holy Spirit, and to know the Lord was hearing me and giving me the understanding that I had longed for. He told me, 'You see the sun in the back yard, but you don't see the sun in the front yard. But it is shining just as bright there. The sun will set in the evening and you won't see it again until morning, but it will be shining on the universe. What I am telling you is that when you think I'm not with you, I am. I hear every word and every thought. Don't fret over what I have for you to do. You are doing things now, and I'm preparing you for more and higher things to come. You only need to ask for my help and guidance and I'll be there.'

About the Book
This inspirational writing is a shared labor of love between a husband and wife of nearly fifty years. Lyman was diagnosed with stage-four cancer in 2005. For nearly two years, he kept notes about his spiritual encounters, thoughts, and prayers as he persevered through the hardships of treatments and illness. These notes, expressed in his voice, offer a powerful glimpse of his relationship with the Holy Spirit and his Lord and Savior. He later felt called to share his faith story with others. His wife and caregiver, Patricia, completes this powerful narrative with special memories of his life, humor, and strength, many unexpected blessings, faithful family and friends, and ultimately a joyous homecoming. Together they offer this writing to the glory of God in thanksgiving and hope that the message will encourage others who are walking their own Jericho Road. Our God is good!
