This book comes from a man who has walked with God in pastoral ministry for over five decades. In it Pastor Joseph Khohlisa Dube reflects on ministry and wishes if he were to begin over. Who doesn't feel that way when looking at things we have done in the past? Every profession is dynamic and begs the need for retooling. Truth be told many times we are haunted by the feeling of missed opportunities. While the stories and examples are taken from an African context, the principles apply cross-culturally. After you finish reading this book, you will certainly express the fact that you have listened to a sage pouring out his wisdom of many years. Much of what Pastor J. K. Dube articulates in this book does not come from the classroom but from religion in overalls where he encountered people from all walks of life.

As a Christian phenomenologist, Dean C. Gardner's work IMAGES OF BEING THERE explores the endless possibility to fathom the authentic article of blessed assurance. It HE CALLS through the indwelling of pure music as what matters proves the purpose of being toward Truth. In a world of madness, the peace beyond understanding can only be found in the way, the Truth, and the life. Approaching the other side of time in space this work explores The Spirit of Wisdom and the revelation of The Unknown God. So, IMAGES OF BEING THERE approaches the deep touch of faith, hope, and love. IMAGES OF BEING THERE employs postmodern thought to probe the unknown with the blood of being toward Truth. It is a compendium beyond the existential and into the authentic article of the author's blessed assurance.
