The Next MileEach one of us was created for a purpose. God desires a relationship with us that will allow Him to fulfill that purpose. We develop a kingdom building relationship with God by developing our faith, trust, and obedience. The Next Mile is designed to lead you further down the road in your walk with Christ. The Next Mile is where you find your purpose, your calling, and your role in the Kingdom. You will be challenged to grow in Christ and to stretch your faith. You will be asked to make decisions that will allow God to change your life for eternity. "You are going to love this devotional book if you pick it up and read it! God will challenge you and encourage you as he does me, every day as I watch Him use Mike Malkemes. Mike is making a difference in the lives of all he comes in contact with in a big way. Mike gives his utmost for God's highest always and this book is just another example of God touching many through him. Be stretched and grow as you read and enjoy!" Mike Myers Former Chaplain of the NBA Houston Rockets and NFL Houston Oilers Pastoral Care Pastor, Gateway Community Church, Houston, Texas "Mike Malkemes is a man who truly 'walks the walk and talks the talk.' Here is a special person providing you with his devotional insights. God bless Michael and his work!" Professor Michael J. Flannery Department Head, Behavioral Sciences, Purdue University "Some people write books while others live them. I am pleased that Mike Malkemes was called by God to do both. He lives the devotions he writes. The one who chooses to do likewise will be blessed by him." John H. Kieschnick Senior Pastor, Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Houston, TX |
