Long-Nosed Rooter

We have heard it said, 'The Lord works in mysterious ways.' Although worded differently, Romans 11:33-36 illustrates that concept: 'Who has known the mind of the Lord?' The passages speak about the richness of how God works.Through realism as well as illusionary moments, God is working through people in dreams, and at times, through Mr. Samuels's fear and confusion. In The Long-Nosed Rooter, the Samuels family sees some of the mysterious works of the Lord in the way he answered their prayers.Mr. Samuels goes from uncertainty to understanding that something just wasn't right. From fear to determination. From homelessness, hopelessness, and unemployment to having a job and a place of his own to share with his family. The story illustrates the scriptures of 'seeking God first, and the rest will be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33).The story all takes place in an entertaining manner. The Long-Nosed Rooter is suspenseful at times, funny at times, and mysterious. I am sure it is a story the young and young at heart will want to read and tell over and over at family gatherings.
