Reseña del libro "Scattered Gems (en Inglés)"
Scattered Gems is a book of Prose and Poetry, with Faithfulness to Jesus Christ being its Foundation. The Christian life brings joy when it is triumphant two directions: Having personal assurance of salvation and also, contributing to America's Historic calling as a Nation. This Book takes us from David's nephew Warren Pett and his wife Donna, martyred in Africa as missionaries; the Book adds contributions from Americans Patriots, Washington, Madison, Ben Franklin, and more. It also includes bits of wisdom from others that also support the idea that America is a Christian Republic. This Book gives us glimpses into the lives of Longfellow, Bonhoeffer, Tozer, and Phillis Wheatley, America's first honored black poet. We also find poems by our Author, plus Reginald Heber's 1812 song expressing the possibility of Victory - in both Life and in death. David Pett was born into a Bible-believing Lutheran farm family in Sothern Wisconsin. He was a typical youth, unconcerned with spiritual matters, but at age 17 he was suddenly Born Again by faith in Jesus. After a period of time in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict, he was released early to attend St. Paul Bible College [now Crown College]. After earning a BA Degree in Bible, David pastored several Alliance churches. In addition to pastoring, his interests included music, history, and poetry, each of these pertaining to America's culture. In his final church prior to retirement, David wrote two Christian History Manuals, wrote and edited a monthly newspaper called The Bridge, as well as writing many poems and songs, all with a commitment to serve and honor Jesus Christ.
