CREATIVE RESPONSE

 


Last Sunday a young girl came up to me with a copy of my book “Star Queen of Persia” asking for an autograph. Her brother, who was also there, said “She’s read it five times.”

Little did they know that both of them had rewarded me with one of the greatest gifts a writer can receive. She acknowledged that I had written the book and he made it clear that the book had been enjoyed.

This Friday and Saturday the Bible Story Family Book Table will be at the Minnesota Baptist Association Ladies’ Meeting in Pine Island, Minnesota. “Star Queen of Persia” along with more than forty other books I have written will be available for those who enjoy reading Christian literature.

The books include novels, dramas, Bible study, children’s books and other resources for home, church, and school. If you are attending the meeting, be sure to stop by the table. If you are not attending, you can see what books are available by looking for books by Robert A. Allen on Amazon.

If you purchase a book I would be more than happy to sign it. But it will make me absolutely ecstatic if you read it. That is the creative response writers enjoy.

CREATIVE TRADE SCHOOL

  Not every student needs to pursue a traditional college degree. Many times in my years of ministry I have visited with parents and students who desired another option besides the traditional college education. Legacy Trade College provides that option. Located in Marysville, Utah, Legacy offers industrial arts training in construction, cabinetry, and welding. Degrees include a two-year trade certificate, or a one-year Bible certificate and trade certificate. Those desiring to work toward a Bachelor’s program or even a Master’s program can combine Legacy courses with additional classes from Maranatha Baptist University. Legacy President Mike Smith says, “What we are trying to do is combine the Bible programs with the industrial arts programs. Bi-vocational pastoral studies would fit with a proficiency in one of the industrial arts. A missionary program would fit with construction.” Future plans include courses in cosmetology and culinary arts along with Bible programs for ...

This week I had the privilege of being invited into Sam’s Club. It had nothing to do with groceries. Every Monday night Mark Telloyan in Indiana and John Telloyan in Japan zoom with their father Sam Telloyan in Michigan. They call it Sam’s Club. And they include in the meeting someone Sam knew from his many years at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College. This week that person was me. We talked about people we knew, places we have been, and ministries we have enjoyed. We talked about the Lord and the privilege it has been to serve Him these many years. Sam looks great, if somewhat older. But then, aren’t we all? Mark is a judge in Indiana. John works with a church in Japan. And Sam is involved in the church in Michigan where his son-in-law Tim VanLoh serves on the pastoral staff. What a great gift Mark and John are giving to their father each week. And what a great reminder of the fellowship we will share for all eternity at the meeting in the air. We won’t even need Zoom.
