Just As I Am

"This book is written in the hope that my message will spark a fire in your heart to stand up and be counted for God." Author Ben Hardister is not content to sit in a church pew, listening to others talk about serving God. At an early age Ben made the decision to serve the Lord by faithfully giving 10% of every dime he made--and a whole lot more. In Faith without Honor, he relates the many times God has blessed his offerings and increased his faith. His stories span the world, from the almond orchards of California to the slums of Venezuela. With honesty and directness, he urges God's people to act with honor in support of those in need.
