The series of paintings and Bible Scriptures in this book visually describe some of the darkest days of my life. It is a personal journey of the struggles and challenges that many people in all parts of the world encounter, with emotional pain from shattered relationships and adversities in life. Each of the images was inspired from a painting experience in Monets Garden, Giverny, France, and then returning home to brokenness. I came to realize through the depths of emotional pain and despair that only God could transform my life to make it beautiful again. My hope and prayer is that this book will bring healing and restoration to whatever you or your loved ones may be facing in life. May you find joy, comfort, and peace through each of these heartfelt images with accompanied biblical verses.

It was during an isolated tour of military duty that the author Sheldon Malone was led to compile these devotionals written over the years into a one-year devotional book designed to encourage readers to look at Gods Word from a whole new perspective by changing the way they thought.

This is precisely why we have to allow God to expand our territory and horizon by permitting Him to change the way we think through His Word.As you read each devotional, this authors prayer is that you will find strength and encouragement to allow God to propel you into higher heights and deeper depths in the things of the Kingdom.

If most of us were to be completely honest with ourselves, we would find places deep within us that cant trust God; at least not anymore. Life experiences, our own or those of others around us, have left us doubting the true nature of God. Is He really loving, big, faithful, trustworthy? Do our prayers really reach heaven? The Rampart is where we go to position ourselves to meet face to face with the one who is supposed to have been there when we needed Him most; the one who said He could do the impossible; or the one who still hasnt shown up yet. The Rampart is the place for those:-who want to believe that God is who He claims to be, but cant-who have journeyed with faith, only to face disappointment-who are intrigued by the thought of being a friend of God but find Him unreachable-who find themselves waiting and wondering how much longerIn my own journey through life experiences, God has led me to a new place, one that has forever changed my perception of Him. In this place I found a bittersweet communion with Him, a safe haven, the ability to trust again, and an avenue to freedom from all that would hold me backThe Rampart.

Finding the Shepherd is pseudo-biographical, taking the reader to the more exciting countries visited by the author as he recounts a quite fictitious life. Blending his love of high mountains, trekking, and motorcycle touring with his search for a personal understanding of God, whom he perceives as his Shepherd, the author traces a fictional version of life from early boyhood to his autumn years in Israel. Each season is not without incident, and along the way he develops a yearning for female companionship without quite understanding whose love he is seeking: a childhood friend or a later acquaintance. An underlying thread throughout the story is the conflict between the beliefs of the authors Christian upbringing and his later affinity for the Jewish faithwhich truly identifies the Shepherd? From a region but dimly described to allow readers to find their own footing, the narrative follows the authors adventures from the craggy mountains of Patagonia to the majestic peaks of the high Himalayas and the quite wonderful people who populate these remote areas of the world.
