I have been a night-sky lover for a long time. Nothing is more peaceful to me than to look into the star-lit blackened backdrop of a crisp night canopy and be reminded that there is a BIG GOD... and I'm not Him! Dr. Turner's wonderful look into the life of Abraham and God's patient interaction with him could not be a more timely read! The dark skies of uncertainty and difficulty are all around us. But so are the stars! As you dive into Count the Stars, you will be encouraged and transformed... you will also never look into the night sky the same again! Enjoy.
