Gary L. Markesen's Newly Released "Come: Take My Hand and Walk With Me Awhile" Is an Inspiring Journey That Draws the Believer Closer to Christ's Calling Every Day

MEADVILLE, Pa., June 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Come: Take My Hand and Walk With Me Awhile": an enriching source of daily bread, is the creation of published author Gary L. Markesen, a US Marine Corps veteran who gave his life to Jesus while on a troop transport ship to Vietnam in 1967. He is a loving husband, professional newspaper printer, amateur model rail roader, and hobbyist bird photographer.

Markesen writes, "Before the Ministry of Jesus really began, He had to select His twelve disciples. Two of John the Baptist's followers decided to follow Jesus. The first question Jesus asks is, 'What do you seek?' (John 1:38). His reply to their answer 'Come and you will see' (John 1:39). I would like to invite you the reader to come with me on a journey that will take one year and a day. This book was originally written for my wife Charise. This way she could have a daily word, scripture and a short illustration combining them both. The word come, the verb, advancement, approaching, to make progress. My hope is that this book will be just a little help one day at a time for you the reader. There were two men on their way to Emmaus, Jesus approached them and began walking with them. I take a little liberty now, thus the name of the book: Come, take My hand and walk with Me awhile, and I'll explain a few things to you (Luke 24:27). My hope is that after we have walked with Him awhile, it will turn into forever."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Gary L. Markesen's new book is a rewarding attempt to move closer to true discipleship one day at a time.

Markesen provides a one-word concept for each day along with a description, a Bible verse incorporating the word, and a short reflection that altogether brings the reader's mind is close accordance with the Spirit and attunes their heart to Christ's personal call in their life.
