Little Green Apples: God Really Did Make Them! [Paperback]

O. C. Smith (Author), James Shaw (Author), Wally Amos (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2003

LITTLE GREEN APPLES: GOD REALLY DID MAKE THEM! shows readers how to choose, grab, and bite into the best apples in every season and in every orchard of their lives. This book is an action-directed life manual that teaches readers: the form and formula for living life and living it abundantly; to acknowledge, recognize, and accept their "divinity-identity"; to approach life with the Christ-consciousness and the knowledge that God is the Source of all that is good; and that God has deliberately prepared all good in abundance for them. An astute and articulate observer of life, as a glancing review of his hit pop songs will prove to anyone, Rev. O.C. Smith, in writing this book, is 'singing' his best song yet.

As you turn each page, be prepared to experience a powerful dose of O.C.'s joy, love, wisdom and happiness. Like the eye-opening taste of a crisp green apple, O.C. will wake you up to a new understanding of life.

From the Publisher

LITTLE GREEN APPLES was first known as the Grammy Award Winning "Song of the Year" written by Bobbie Russell and brought to the #2 spot on the charts by O.C. Smith in 1968. Since then, LITTLE GREEN APPLES has been designated one of the "Songs of the Century" in 2001 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Wally Amos, creater of Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies and also an inspirational wirter, says in the foreward, "Isn't it interesting, that O.C. Smith's claim to fame was a song (God Didn't Make) Little Green Apples? Years later, after many life experiences, ministerial school, and teaching, O.C. discovers that God made everything!"

From the Inside Flap

The Spiritual Wit and Wisdom of the Man who Immortalized the Grammy-Winning Song "Little Green Apples."

Wally Amos, creator of Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies and also an inspirational writer, says in the foreword, "Isn’t it interesting, that O.C. Smith’s claim to fame was a song (God Didn’t Make) Little Green Apples? Years later, after many life experiences, ministerial school, and teaching, O.C. discovers that God made everything!"

If you’ve ever bitten into a green apple only to be startled by the tart flavor that surprisingly wakes you up and makes your eyes water, you already get a sense of the impact O.C. Smith had on his friends, his church, and the world. He was truly a soul of deep spiritual conviction whose God-given talent and warm, inviting personality produced a life that few can match and a message few will ever forget.

As you turn each page, be prepared to experience a powerful dose of O.C.’s joy, love, wisdom and happiness. Like the eye-opening taste of a crisp green apple, O.C. will wake you up to a new understanding of life that will lift your spirit.

It’s been said that one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, but once you read Little Green Apples: God Really Did Make Them! you’ll see how one "good" apple can change the world!

This review is from: Little Green Apples: God Really Did Make Them! (Paperback)

Dr. O. C. Smith, following the method in which the Greats have taught Truth Principles, gives the reader a practical book that can change the way in which they see themselves in the world they live in. Dr. O. C.'s consuming interest in teaching metaphysical principles to help people find their own solutions and solve their own problems is clearly evident in this book. A student of Dr. Joseph Murphy, Dr. Frank Richelieu and other Masters of Metaphysics, Dr. O. C. clearly has taken their teachings and expanded on the wisdom that he received from them. A Minister of Religious Science, Dr. O. C. takes the reader to a level beyond traditional Christian theology and truly connects the reader with the Power and the Presence of God that In-Dwells them! This book is from a consciousness of accomplishment and achievement and Dr. O. C. freely shares his great wisdom with the reader ... Dr. O. C. knew the Truth and demonstrated It abundantly!
