LONGWOOD, FL-In a world that seems discouraging at times author and pastor Neal Carlson offers Words for Courageous Living($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-469-6; $33.99, hardcover, 978-1-60477-470-2) with 365 entries for daily use.
"DonŐt let circumstances be bigger than you are," says the author. He quotes the apostle Peter: "My purpose in writing is to encourage you and assure you that the grace of God is with you no matter what happens" (1 Peter 5:12).
According to Carlson, readers will remember the picture stories in his book and draw upon them in time of need to help them live with courage. With many other "excellent daily devotionals" sharing the same thrust, he believes readers will be able to identify with the title of his book.
Known for his easily understood teaching, the author has been in the ministry for more than 50 years, having been called to his first church at the age of 19. Through his unique experiences he has learned the importance of inspiring others to "lion-like living."
Neal Carlson and his wife, Nancy, live in central California and have five children and 12 grandchildren. He is the president of Foundation for Living and with his wife provides encouraging words through a worldwide ministry.
