His Grace is Enough is a book written with the hope of helping Christians better understand the Grace, Love and Forgiveness that God provides to us. His Grace is Enough includes the personal testimony of how God's Grace has impacted his own life in a number of remarkable and extraordinary ways during the past fifteen years. The author believes that many Christians miss the blessing of these three very fundamental and important theological truths found in Scripture. Tom hopes that by writing His Grace is Enough, many more Christians will be able to take hold of and effectively apply those truths in their own lives, so they might have a much deeper appreciation of God's gift of Grace and a more meaningful relationship with Him and others.

This book of meditations has grown out of the Grace Radio Ministry Broadcast, which has aired for more than five years from 2005 to 2010. In the broadcast I would share words of encouragement, deliverance, and salvation in an effort to heal the hurting, direct the wavering and unsaved, and inspire the saints of God on this Christian journey to keep on keeping on. There is a calling upon my life to teach the Word and preach the Word of God, and I must be obedient to God, who has called me, so I pray, study, write, and teach to please God and help somebody. I thank God for Stephanie Ward, the announcer of Grace Radio Ministry, and Derrick Williams, media specialist, who are always waiting in the wings to assist me with recordings. I thank God for my pastor, Reverend Dr. Kenneth W. Jackson, who has recognized my calling and recommended me to teach at the United Theological Seminary of Houma. I enjoyed my two-year stay at the United Theological Seminary of Houma, and now on my pastor's recommendation I am presently an instructor at The Christian Bible College of Houma, Louisiana. Thank you, God, for Pastor Jackson. Just when my soul needed a revival, God used Pastor Jackson to recommend to the board of directors at Christian Bible College to hire me to teach. Thank you, Pastor Jackson, for being obedient to the voice of God.

The calling we all have and called to is not for the feint of heart, it is not for the self-powerful, not for the self-sufficient, not for the strong willed, but, for the one who rely on God's grace, for the one who yarn for more of God's sufficiency, for the one who gives God alone the Glory no matter what is achieved. With the current global situation, destabilization and civil unrest spreading sporadically, I have heard so many people say these are uncertain times. But I am propelled to let them know we do not live in uncertain times. Realistically, these are really certain times. These times are as certain as any time in all of human history, and the God of the universe laid out these times in great detail, point by point, and in fact, with all the details needed by His people to lives in times of absolute certainty! So no, to believers there's nothing uncertain about the times we live in

Story bounces back and forth as memories are recalled and discussed. I discuss life before becoming a Christian and after becoming a Christian. I even discuss how one becomes a Christian according to scripture and not some robbed figure far away or some guru-like cult figure... I lay out the truths of beliefs as clearly as possible. The reader must decide for themselves what to do with the truths presented.

Come journey with me through the raw experiences of my personal testimony of finding beauty in brokenness. As you read the pages of this book, let your heart grasp the realness of its content. In that place, my heart learned to abide within the grace and mercy of God. The wilderness treatment brought enlightenment and deliverance within my heart. Many years had been spent trying to conform and even run within the opinions of others. The need for acceptance, approval and love drove me to 'the performance mode.' As you read through the chapters, you will see the joy of being delivered from being a 'stereo-typed' woman and minister. Who had believed that unless she walked, talked and aligned within the likeness of others opinions, she would never be used! This process brought me to the truth of having 'real' relationship with God, Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. The truth of perfect love, hope, peace and trust became a 'known' place within my heart, mind and even actions.

Fundamental to my life is the fact that, no matter what I feel or how it appears to me, I am in Christ and he is in me. The conditions of life do not define who I am. Christ is who I am. I am in him, and I will never be moved from here, for it is my place, and will remain so in all environments, stations and conditions. He is my constitution. He is my station. He is the place I live in. Because he is – I am! My book is different compared to others for several reasons. First, it is based on a life-long study and a tried-and-true life application of God’s Word, the single and most trustworthy and authoritative source of all truth. Second, I have had the privilege of serving God both in a full-time capacity and as a typical, day-in-and-day-out, nitty-gritty “common” citizen of the world, and I believe this book will impact the reader spiritually, intellectually and pragmatically. It will help him or her encounter God in the midst of the “stuff” of life. Third, I serve a real God. He is within every reality of my life. He makes sense where I live. Whether the season is adverse or calm, God is in it – to be there, to influence my decisions, to transform the way I view each situation and to influence each outcome. He is also beyond everything. His rule, authority and power astound me. He is the “bigness” in all of life. He is the limitless supply when I am overwhelmed with my limitations; the transformative power when I am unable to change; the delivering force when I am confined by my weakness; the resurrection and the life when I need to live! Fourth, I am a real person. I am nothing apart from God’s grace, yet complete and free in it. Holy Spirit is current and relevant to each and every situation I may encounter. My life’s experience and ministry have been real. I have seen cancer, failure, joblessness, poverty, suicide, sickness, and drug addiction. I have spent time with those in prison, the bereaved, the hospitalized and the dying. I am acquainted with people from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and vocations and I know what it is to work hard for a living.

Don and Karen Clifford put God's promises to the test when they found themselves in storm after storm as they lost three small children to accidents and disease. These life-long Christians tell their inspiring story and share the lessons and insights they gained as they found God's grace to be sufficient. Here is what some Christian workers have to say about Grace Enough for Three. Few have experienced the sorrow of Don and Karen Clifford with the death of three small children at different times as well as two miscarriages. Most marriages do not survive such tragic events. Don and Karen are testimony to the biblical truth that God's grace is sufficient in the darkest hours of life. They are a joy filled couple faithfully serving the Lord. Their faith and faithfulness are an inspiration to others. When I read their story it became the seed for a series of messages on THE SUFFICIENT GRACE OF GOD. Their story will challenge you to overcome the difficulties in your life by trusting in God's sufficient grace. Dr. David Sheppard, Senior Pastor First Baptist Church St Charles, Mo. As I read "Grace Enough For Three," I was totally captivated, reading deep into the night and early mornings. "Grace" reads almost like fiction - but it most certainly isn't fiction. Don and Karen lived every moment of this fascinating and riveting story. In their lives, through their pain and oft times lack of understanding, they learned much about God's wonderful love and grace. Our thanks to Don and Karen for allowing us to be a part of their experience, for a look at how God can work in mysterious but marvelous ways in the lives of his children. Dr. M. Dale Allen Professor of Bible Missouri Baptist University
