4"Take a scriptural and historical adventure with Pastor Randy Adams as he explores the lyrics of the hymn Blessed Assurance, considered by many one of the greatest hymns ever composed. Be inspired by the life and devotion to God of Fanny Crosby, blind from early childhood, who wrote over 8000 hymns. Walk with Pastor Randy as he relates the lyrics of this hymn to his own Christian experience and growth. Written to bring modern day believers the same joy of assurance that Fanny Crosby experienced, this work has as its basic purpose reminding Christians who God is and who they are in Christ, and to banish from their hearts and minds all doubt and fear in their daily walk with Jesus. This book will challenge you to know and apply Scripture to your life just as Fanny Crosby did. Enjoy Pastor Randy's anecdotes from his own life and walk, and take the opportunity to be enriched in your journey with Christ or to come to know Him in a deeper and more meaningful way." Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Pastor Randy Adams came to faith in Christ in 1982 after meeting and marrying his wife Rosalie. Together they gained a heart for world missions during the 1990's, and briefly participated in missions work in Brazil. Since 2005 Randy and Rosalie have together pastored Streams in the Desert Praise Chapel in Desert Hot Springs, California, where they currently live and serve God.
