{"product_id":"2940013310575","title":"Wisdom 'N Rhyme","description":"In January, 1987, at age 48, I was stricken with ulcerative colitis. I was gravely ill and on \u003cbr\u003ethe brink of a major organ failure. All my intestines were severely inflamed because of a \u003cbr\u003emedication I had taken in order to treat ankylosing spondylitis. (A form of arthritis of the \u003cbr\u003espine).\u003cbr\u003eI spent twelve days in a hospital due to my illness, and a couple nights after my release \u003cbr\u003efrom the hospital I was in our spare bedroom praying that God would touch and heal me.\u003cbr\u003eAnd during that time of prayer I had an encounter with the Lord God, and that encounter \u003cbr\u003ewas unlike anything I had ever experienced.  I did not see God, nor did I hear His voice, \u003cbr\u003ebut I felt the Lord’s power and presence over-shadowing me in a way in which I go \u003cbr\u003ewanting for words in order to fully explain that experience.  My encounter with God was \u003cbr\u003esimilar to that of Job only in that God opened my mind and revealed unto me who I was, \u003cbr\u003eand who God the Father really is. The Holy Spirit revealed unto me the enormous sin of \u003cbr\u003epride, and a need for me to repent and change my sinful attitude.  Thank You, Lord, for \u003cbr\u003eYour eternal mercy!\u003cbr\u003eSoon after my spiritual awakening, I began to have thoughts come into my mind in a way \u003cbr\u003ethat I had not ever experienced.  The thoughts were Biblical truths and principles that \u003cbr\u003ewere often  formulated in rhyme, and they were occurring randomly day and night. But \u003cbr\u003esoon I realized I was forgetting the rhymes, sometimes within minutes of their \u003cbr\u003eoccurrence, then I realized there was a necessity to quickly write my thought down; \u003cbr\u003esometimes I would write them on a small piece of scratch paper.\u003cbr\u003eFor the most part, but with a few exceptions, each page of this book contains rhymes and \u003cbr\u003eaxioms in the order they initially came into my mind.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175641694448,"sku":"2940013310575","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013310575_p0.jpg?v=1763579541","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013310575","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
