Building Bridges: A Collection of Real Life Short Stories by Bridge Builders Cla

Description: Building Bridges by Bridge Builders Class (Orlando is a suburb of Apopka!) FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Nostalgia--Chuckles--Wisdom--Lessons from Life--Building Bridges Thats what thirty members of the Bridge Builders class at Forest Lake Seventh-day Adventist Church share with the reader. Faced with the challenge, "Everybody has a story--whats yours?" these writers open their lives through their stories, whether it is a mini-autobiography or a vignette of a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Stories hold us together. Young and not-so-young readers will be reminded that even though circumstances may be different today than years ago, the principle still holds true that "Young people still rise to our expectation of them." Will Allen Dromgoole writes of an old man who, after crossing a stream, built a bridge. When questioned why he would do such a thing after he had already crossed, he replied, " . . . there followeth after me today a youth whose feet must pass this way . . . Good friend, I am building the bridge for him." Thats what we hope these stories will do--Build Bridges!
