For my blog Prompt: "What is a book that has greatly impacted your faith?"

I don't remember the title because it's been 40 plus years since I read it. I do remember the author was Rev. Oral Roberts, the televangelist who fell into disgrace. I am not here to judge Dr. Roberts. I do know that if we put our faith into human leadership we are bound to be disappointed. I also know that the book I read by Dr. Roberts was an anointed book. When UI completed the book, I gave my life to Jesus Christ. Afterwards I fell so far from grace that if I had died I am certain I would have "split hell wide open" as a friend puts it. At the same time God never left me. Holy Spirit would not and did not forsake me. He witnessed a lot of despicable acts out of me but He never gave up on me. The book had planted a seed and an insatiable hunger for God's word that has never been fully satisfied. I left home that night. I was eighteen and legally an adult. The next day found me in the VA hospital with a cluster headache and an episode of the illness that would follow me the rest of my life. As the Lord would have it the man in the room with me was a preacher who operated a correspondence course ministry! The Lord began my preparation that day and the little seed that Dr.. Oral Roberts planted began to germinate. Today that mustard seed is the Chaplain of the West Virginia Veterans Home whom just today shook hands with the WV Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary. In my position I speak with leaders every day. I am currently reaching out to leadership of ecumenical bodies nationwide to disseminate information about the WV Veterans Home and show those bodies how to make referrals to the WVVH. God has plans for us all. His plans for me started with a book with no cover or title page by Dr. Oral Roberts.

For my blog Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Guardians Of The Galaxy and found this planet:
 Greek Tales of Mount Parnassus  (E)
A creative tale told from historical bits.
#2071439 by 💙 Carly

Write about Greek Mythology.

Greek mythology always fascinated me, partly because I am a history buff, and partly because I am a theologian. I'm a Christian theologian but a theologian no less. I love delving into history and seeing why people believed what they believed. I once studied Greek mythology in depth and understood their gods. I thank God that the Living God is nothing like those very fickle and quite human idols.
