Gene P. Neral

In focus on the moment and trust in God’s love, Deacon Gene presents an intimate account of his experience in hearing God speak a phrase into his life that continues to hold true throughout every minor and major life event thereafter. Through raising a family, repeated medical diagnoses and career changes, through all manner of similarly daunting and/or pivotal moments, the phrase continues to apply. This book is designed to encourage others to hold it as a motto as well, and to remember that God has a plan for everyone.
