Three $Dollars$ A Day and Care Fare Everyone loves a good story. Three $Dollars$ A Day and Care Fare is more than a good story. It is a collection of great stories from the life of Mr. James Shepherd. Using fascinating vignettes from his own life, Mr. Shepherd reveals how God has been with him throughout life. From a dangerous situation on the mean streets of Oakland, California to the hot, dangerous Jungles of Vietnam, the reader is riveted by the miracles that occurred in his life. He shares these experiences and invites us to know the Lord who delivered him in every circumstance. We are inspired by the story of his grandmother who taught him about perseverance as she struggled to survive on only three dollars a day and car fare. We learn about his father, Mr. Pinkney, and the lessons Pinkney taught him by precept and example. You wouldn't find Pinkney in a church, but you did find the church in Pinkney. In today's world, we could use less people in church and more church in people. We learn of his being saved from suicide and self harm in the nick of time by God's providence and grace while experiencing the horrors of Vietnam. Finally, we learn of Mr. Shepherd's faith. It is evident that faith is at the center of his life. And, we are encouraged to strengthen our faith and place it in the Lord Jesus Christ. I encourage any and all who love a good story to read the many great stories in Three $Dollars$ A Day and Care Fare. They will captivate you! They will encourage you! They will inspire you! They will point you to Jesus Christ the Lord of life, the perfecter of faith, the lover of our souls, and the giver of eternal life. Read more
