After a man loses his purpose, he finds himself forced to regain connection to his family, and in the process finds peace.

A master storyteller's triumphant, moving collection about lost souls, found love, and rediscovered tradition Tim Gautreaux returns to the form that won him his first fans, with tales of family, sin, and redemption: from a man who realizes his grandchildren are growing up without any sense of right or wrong, and he's to blame; to a camera repairman who uncovers a young woman's secret in the undeveloped film she brings him; to a one-armed hitch-hiker who changes the life of the man who gives her a ride. Each one a small miracle of storytelling and compassion, these stories in Welding with Children are a joyous confirmation of Tim Gautreaux's rare and generous talent.

Step into Bob's shoes as you travel along with him on his journey home. His is a riveting story of redemption, failure, forgiveness, and restoration-one that will cause you to laugh, cry, and, in the end, fill you with hope. There was something different about big George. While he was the butt of everyone's jokes, it never seemed to bother him; he continued to talk to everyone about Jesus, including Bob. There was also something different about Bob; while on the outside he looked great, on the inside, he was empty. Eventually it was that emptiness that finally drove Bob to ask big George the most important question he had ever asked anyone: "So what is this business about being born again?" Two days later, Bob found the answer to that question, and his life was changed forever. However, over the next 25 years, while Bob watched the Lord do amazing things in his life, he would also fight a lonely battle with an invisible adversary that would torment him relentlessly, even threatening to take his very life.

Let not your hearts be troubled . . . The opening words from John 14 frame the balance of this sermon to the disciples. Immediately following the Passover supper and the washing of their feet, our Lord preaches one last sermon to his faithful friends and disciples--a sermon full of longing, full of promise, full of hope, and full of disclosures about their future, the work of the Holy Spirit, and key verses supporting the doctrine of the Trinity.John 14-16 presents a fascinating farewell address from Jesus to his disciples. These chapters show us the heart of our Savior and his love for his disciples in a time of anxiety--not only their anxiety but his own, as he knows that the shadow of the cross has now grown dark across him and there is no place else for him to go. No ministry remains for him now except to these disciples, and then ultimately to the cross itself. Even as he, in his own humanity, was troubled in the prospect of his suffering, he turned to minister to the disciples in their time of trouble.
