LES BROWN'S DEVOTIONALS

A major portion of my professional life was confined to writing articles for learned journals and developing texts concerning my discipline. I frequently felt the necessity to produce rather than to reflect. Consequently, upon my retirement I decided to devote my limited talents to help myself and others to discover relevant messages from Scripture for living in our present-day society. The devotional thoughts that I have written represent an attempt to elicit everyday application of Scripture for others to consider and hopefully, to prompt you to send me your reactions or responses

For a number of years I have led various Bible Study groups. I attempt to approach each session as a learner as well as a leader. I have conducted these sessions in a variety of settings both in groups and on an individual basis. My commitment to do so is primarily motivated by the conviction that although most biblical explorations are well meant, they are mostly confined to teaching about rather than prompts to action and attempts to examine the central message of a Scriptural account. I began my quest with group studies of the Parables and came to greatly admire how our Lord was able to convey truths through everyday observations. I have attempted to guide groups in extracting message for the believer to utilize in individual spiritual growth by employing His methods.

Another major purpose for expending many hours writing and revising these devotionals is to leave them as a legacy to our children - some who have embraced the Lord and others who are still seeking. It is my fervent hope and prayer that through these writings each of them will be able to more clearly see what the Lord has meant to me and how I sense His guidance as I go through my everyday life. My ardent plea is that He will also serve each of them as his/her personal guide.
