"Yet, I must stay in the world to do battle until the Lord calls me home. This is the sacrifice I must make; to stay in the world, when I would much rather leave it. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." - from Howard's Journal

At 36, Howard Rea was searching for what God had in mind for him. He knew he wanted to be sold out to his Savior. What he never expected was that the answer to his prayer lay in the diagnosis of a brain tumor that would leave him paralyzed. Surely this wasn't how a loving God worked! How could this debilitating life allow him to be a good father to his three children and wife? How could he work? How could God use him now? Howard could no longer provide, but would God?

I Will Enter His Gates wrestles with the timeless question, "Why is God allowing this to happen?" Writing with poignancy and immediacy, Jan takes you through the memoir of their lives, allowing you to travel along with Howard as you read his intimate, spiritual journal. You'll embrace the answers Jan and Howard find and they'll transform you as it did them.

I Will Enter His Gates is written for those who are experiencing personal crisis, chronic illness, those making the uphill battle of uncertainty, those facing death or looking for answers from God inspired by His Word. Family members caregivers and Book Club members will be given hope and perspective as through the pages you see God molding Howard and Jan into understanding through His Word the hope found in who He is and knowing His ways. You'll want everyone you know to read this book.
