Kokomo, IN, January 23, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Stanley Ridlen, who has worked as a police officer and later as an ER registered nurse, has completed his new book, “How Almighty God Can Use a Simple Guy”: a stirring collection of short stories that explores how God has had an incredible influence on the author’s life, providing him with both blessings and challenges on his path towards ultimate salvation.
“Over the last year and a half or two, the Lord has been leading me to share my stories, which in themselves don’t account for much,” writes Ridlen. “However, when I look at what the Lord has done, the stories are rich with His hand moving in different areas throughout my life, and His fingerprints are all over anything good that has come of me.”
The author continues, “‘How can I know that I am saved?’ This question is also one that I’ve grappled with over months, and I find that many other Christians do as well. I will toss a few ideas out at the beginning of this work, but I intend to be a little more detailed at the end. I’m not a seminary graduate or some type of theologian, but I am a simple man, and God has moved me in many ways, giving me some real answers to the two previous questions. While I’ve joked with some friends about these stories being mine and that they can’t have them, I’m quick to say that God is waiting to give them their own stories.
“These stories that I’ll share will not be in exact chronological order, as some overlap, and they will include things from my childhood. The focus will be on events after the age of fifty-six. Having been a believer in Jesus Christ since I was seventeen, much of my adult life was spent attempting to convince God that my way was best. For many of those years, I gave God most of the areas of my life, but that’s not what He commands.”
