God Works the Night Shift: Acts of Love Your Father Performs Even While You Sleep [Paperback]

Ron Mehl (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2006

Sometimes we feel that God is working by leaps and bounds in the lives of others, but not in our own. Especially when we are going through difficult times, it may seem as though other people have been richly blessed-while our own lives are completely empty. But Ron Mehl assures readers that despite the way things sometimes appear, God is continually at work in their lives, reminding them that God often does his best works in the darkness. As men and women take a closer look at the God who works the night shift, they will learn about the unceasing acts of love he performs for them, every moment of their lives...even while they sleep.

This review is from: God Works the Night Shift: Acts of Love Your Father Performs Even While You Sleep (Paperback)

"God Works The Night Shift" has got to be the best book I have ever gotten. The Author "Ron Mehl" puts this story in such an easy way to read and understand what God does for all of us. It is a believable book about how many of us do not see God working in our lives. We might be struggling everyday and crying to God asking, "Where are you God?" Well "Ron Mehl" shows us where God is and the way he writes is so down to earth. It is not at all preachy and he has a great sense of humor throughout the book that just makes you NOT want to put it down. I finished it in 2 1/2 hours. He comes across as an ordinary person with an ordinary life just like us. I have read it over and over again and If life has you down and you feel alone, scared and feel like no one is out there. "Read this book!" You won't be able to put it down, and when you do you will feel a difference. A sort of peace like "Ok! I guess God is working the night shift!"It is a good feeling! Irene Giorgio

5.0 out of 5 stars The message of book is as comforting as it is challenging, August 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: God Works the Night Shift: Acts of Love Your Father Performs Even While You Sleep (Paperback)

God Works the Night Shift is a book that I will purchase for others. I found it a comforting reminder of Christ's profound love for me and an inspiration to obey a God whose primary concern is for my ultimate good. I will read it again and again, and regard it as a trusted companion. Founded on a deep and broad understanding of the Bible, its pages are compelling, humorous and deeply touching. It had a healing effect on me and I know it will on others.
