What Are The Chances?: The Glory Stories of Brother Bass for Those Who Need Eyes To See!

This book was written for and is dedicated to those people for whom the miracles of God always seem to be just out of reach! In its pages you will find accounts of the means by which an ordinary man came to know God as a close friend instead of just knowing about Him as a distant and inaccessible possibility.It is a work that highlights the multiplicity of common, "garden variety" miracles that establish as knowledge the fact that God is a concerned Father who often initiates and sustains dialogue with those He cares for through extraordinary events which speak to a person in ways that mere words cannot. It is a language of the heart that is unique to each individual and can, if perceived by the light of scriptural guidance, effectively lead that person to and through whatever is necessary for his or her eternal redemption, healing, deliverance -- and restoration. Its theme suggests that there is something fundamental in our human nature which accepts sensational, physically impossible occurrences as being of supernatural import. However, because of such restricted focus the seemingly less dramatic events, which are best assessed in the intangible fourth dimension -- the timing, are often misappraised and under-valued, therefore they are then summarily dismissed as unimportant. The significance of these "garden variety" kinds of sign and wonders is realized in grasping the fact that they are happenings that occur, without doubt, beyond the domain of "coincidence absurdia" -- the mathematical equivalent of "never in a billion, to the power of a billion years."The statistical improbability of the orchestration of circumstances can lead only to one conclusion -- that the various culminating events could never have happened without the element of divine intervention. It is God's signet seal that can be validated by simply answering the question, "What are the Chances?" with an intellectually honest answer. The accounts of these experiences as "faith builders" are what the author often refers to as "Glory Stories" and his premise for this volume of Glory Stories simply stated is this:There exists an avenue to deep intimacy with God that does not require personal involvement in grand and terrifying sea splitting wonders of such magnitude that most people never see in an entire lifetime. This private avenue leads one through a composite of less spectacular but more intimate and personal impossibilities which speak volumes of revelation to our hearts in one's own unique language of experience, which only the Spirit of God can utter. With such a premise as a given, the prediction is this: As you read what is recorded in this anthology of Glory Stories, you will come to recognize the times of your own life when God has been there with and for you. You consequently will become profoundly more receptive to and understanding of the spiritual events which express the richness of God's grace to you ... every day of your life ... and you will be encouraged and empowered to bless the world around you by sharing your own life story of what God has done for you!
