Planting Seeds, Growing in Grace, Reaping a Harvest
A story of two boys, their friendship, and the God who changed their lives

LONGWOOD, FL-Planting the Seed (paperback, 978-1-60266-451-7; hardcover, 978-1-60266-452-4) is the story of a unique friendship between two boys who were brought together by chanceÑor were they? When they met, the boys were unaware of God's presence in their lives and unaware of what He had planned for them over time. This book is a down-to-earth, straightforward story of the power of friendship and of God's amazing desire to touch and transform our lives.

Authors Frederick A. Kohler and Gregory A. Banks not only share their personal stories, but hope that readers will be drawn closer to God through what they've written. "We have poured our hearts and souls into this book," say Kohler and Banks, "in the attempt to reach as many people as we can with the Word of God." Resonating with thankfulness for GodÕs blessings, Planting the Seed is an excellent way to introduce others to Christ and to build the faith of other Christians.

Rev. Frederick A. Kohler lives in Altoona, Pennsylvania, with his wife Regina and their puppy, Beamer. He holds a Master of Arts degree; three certificates from various Bible institutions; was ordained on March 20, 2006; has recently graduated with an Associate Degree in biblical studies, and was named one of the best 2002 poets by poetry.com.

Gregory A. Banks attended Lock Haven State College, majoring in communications. He changed streams in his freshman year and left college in search of a radio career which has been his passion for more than thirty years. He now works as a news sports promoter for Atlantic Broadband.
