The purpose of this book is to encourage the body of Christ. We sometimes have a battle of self that weakens our fight within. God always knows when to come and render a Word just in the nick of time, especially when we come to this place in our life, no matter where or even when we first went crazy for the Lord! Thus, the title, of this book, Take Me Back to the Day I went Crazy. The inspiration of this book comes from a collection of messages that God has allowed me to preach and share not just to my congregation but all around the world. I believe that if the message was a blessing to those that were in attendance; that God will allow it to be a blessing to those who may not come to church, but will allow the church to come to them not in the form of The Book, but a book based on the inspired Word of God!

Features an audio read-along! With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.

And yet they were happy. This book has no plot, per se, but the stories give an insight into the brothers lifestyle in a small Oklahoma farming community. The book has significant historical value and a touch of nostalgia for a bygone era. It is a light-hearted and fun read.
