Come in the House – By Howard Williams

Howard Williams knew how to celebrate the little things in life, and that, more than almost anything else, is the purpose of this book: to remind us to celebrate the little things and to love one another while doing so.

Williams carefree days visiting his grandparents in Mississippi taught him the value of a story well told. As an introvert, he was a keen observer of the world around him and saw God's hand actively at work in all things, both large and small. Come in the House: Faith Lessons from Shake Rag and Beyond is a collection of stories from his youth.

Fred Craddock wrote that the most powerful communication of the gospel is in whispers. Howard was not a shouter. His soft voice carried truth and feeling. This journal whispers to us as he would tell his story to someone he loved. Williams has left us a diary of the ordinary that puts him in the class of “saints and poets.” The reader will be tempted to hurry through the book in a single sitting but it will be most effective in small bites followed by thoughts of one’s own journey.

An e-book is available on Amazon (Kindle).
