Synopsis

A mature, intelligent, everyday person, Dianne Stewart,
has read ”My Life As I Remember It” and ”Time
Tested Thinking, As It Seems to Me”. Her succinct
observation is: “I think both books are extremely
valuable. One is the story of a man, his life, his
ups and downs, and his abiding faith in an abiding
God, the other, what this man has learned
and experienced with that same God”.
