Faith Breaks, Volume 2: More Thoughts on Making It a Good Day

This second volume of Faith Breaks contains 150 more insightful reflections from the beloved Dr. J. Howard Olds, heard over the radio in Lexington, Louisville, and Nashville for over two decades prior to his death in 2008. Faith Breaks, Volume 2: More Thoughts on Making It a Good Day reminds us to pause, take a break, and focus on what really matters: faith, hope, love, God, and family! Includes a special foreword by Dr. Olds' two sons: Brad and Wes.

Dr. J. Howard Olds served as senior pastor of Brentwood United Methodist Church in Nashville, Tennessee from 2000 to 2008. ''Make it a good day'' was a familiar phrase, repeated by Olds when he signed off from his popular Faith Breaks messages heard regularly on the radio airwaves in Nashville and beyond. Olds' published books include: Laughing and Crying Your Way Through Cancer, Faith Breaks, Vols. 1 and 2 and Led to Follow, which he co-authored with Cal Turner, former CEO of Dollar General Stores. Olds received his Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary and his Doctorate of Ministry degree from Lexington Theological Seminary. During the three decades before moving to Tennessee, Olds served four United Methodist churches in Kentucky. During his long pastorate in Nashville, Olds battled cancer openly and boldly; he ministered out of his own struggles and experiences. Olds' sermons and other writings are in the process of being published so that his unique voice will continue to challenge and encourage.
