THE LITTLE SHEPHERD
This proved to be the first of ninety days of intense instruction – what to read, where to go, what to observe… interpreting everyday life with divine understanding. This day was a day of covenant-making, the beginning of a constant communion with God and obedience to His directions.
As others were drawn to Stephen J. Sanders, Jr., they too, experienced an infilling of Wisdom, an inner transformation. God became an ever-present Guide in their lives also.
