The first thing that the reader may notice about this memoir is its
short chapters-on average, about 700 words. That is because, originally,
each chapter was a blog post, and was submitted through the authors
blog, one chapter (or post) at a time. As you might imagine, the
author's concentration in writing this memoir was on what he could
remember about his life all through the years. From his earliest
memories, through high school, the military, college, his painting
business, his marriage and divorce, his prayer ministry, his writing
endeavors, to his retirement years, many interesting events and
situations are recorded, of which every reader may identify with and
enjoy. Though the focus of the writing is on the remembrance of events
as they happened, the reader will also notice a theme running through
the pages: that the author's life was under God's watchful eye, keeping
him safe from evil and constantly providing him comfort, peace and hope.
If you should decide to read this memoir of Stephen's life, it is his
hope and prayer that some part or parts of it will be an encouragement
to you, and that God will reach out and bless you just as Stephen has
been blessed by God.
