{"product_id":"2940157425937","title":"Pray for Rain","description":"Tom Gabbard has always been a Christian.  However, what it meant to be a Christian was not always clear. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHe was born into a Christian family that had been faithful to the Church for several generations.  The tradition was to attend church regularly and to try to be a good person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of this changed when a friend was healed of terminal cancer.  Tom devoted his life to the Lord upon hearing the news of this stunning miracle.  The new birth and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit were soon to follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Lord led him to lead chapters of the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship where he was exposed to stories of life changing new birth and faith miracles.  In time he accepted a second career appointment to the ministry of the United Methodist Church and spent nine years as Pastor of Sharon United Methodist Church in Decatur, Illinois.  Now, he and Bette, his wife of 53 years, live in retirement in Plano, Texas.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe material for this book is the compilation of many experiences.  The key note is that of faith.  Tom has concluded that for one to have success with God, there must be a living faith.  That is 1) a knowledge of the will of God.  2) A repentance from sin and dead works.  And 3) A petition specifically detailing what is needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReverend Gabbard has prepared a four-hour seminar for church or community leadership aiming to reignite people's faith in God for abundant rains, for salvation in the home or family, for abundance, for healing and health, and for deliverance. Contact Reverend Gabbard if you would like to discuss a seminar of this nature.","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168995098864,"sku":"2940157425937","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157425937_p0.jpg?v=1764095792","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157425937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
