interesting notes about this book:
- Given to me at 3:00 a.m.... morning after morning as God woke me up to write.
- Survived a fire... Amazingly, the walls and floor
were
totally burned where Wilderness
Rest pages were kept.
- I asked God; "If You want me to put it in book format and share this book, please give me a good title, or name."
- Immediately after I prayed that, the words: "Wilderness Rest" popped in my mind.
- The pages of Wilderness Rest have traveled in the car with me all over the USA as I edited the burned damaged pages.
- Written 1992, typed over a period of years... starting in 2002.
- All praise and thanks to God. Our Father, Jesus, Our Redeemer, Friend, Holy Spirit, Counselor, and Companion
and my son, John Boyd Bronson, who both kept after me, until I typed the fire damaged
pages. I am including a photocopy of a page with burned edges and with some burn over words.
Still readable though there is no explanation, except for God's work that the pages did not burn.
"Lord we thank you for your Word! Help us to
know and understand
the truths that
You have been revealing therein since the beginning of time."
God’s
word is
dramatic, breath-taking, colorful, awe-inspiring, bold, not
to
mention a
cherished, exciting, valued prize to revere and appreciate. Even
more,
it is
living and powerful, you can fall in love with Him and His Word.
I love it
- I literally hug it and Him. They, Him and His Word are my intimate
companions.
"God's
word
shall fall upon you like the gentle
rain and dew, like rain upon the
tender grass,
like showers on the hillside!" Deut. 32:2
Wilderness Rest is a book
inspired from
reading the

As I read through the first five books of God's Word and took notes - I saw that it is all about our Holy God's Pure Heart of Gentle, Loving-Kindness in the wilderness times of life... And:
His purposes and His desire to participate and to assist us in the Entering Into Our Rest!
promise. He gives us an example in Joshua which I also included in
Wilderness Rest .
Joshua: a powerful account of entering in -- into the promised land of God!
Don't
just think that the
wilderness lessons was for those stiff-necked
people, back there in that wilderness - its all people, for all times,
in all
their wilderness type experiences. We all get stiff-necked! When
God
allows a person to come to a trying place, a troublesome place, a
trial, a test,
a hard place - that's their wilderness place! We all go through
wilderness
places.
Go with all your heart desiring to seek intimacy and rest with God - that's what God is after.
Once we get to the place of intimacy and rest in the wilderness, we find that the wilderness beautiful. See the face of God there, His presence, His intimate love, His angels, His table, His Tabernacle, His gifts bestowed! Once we rest in our wilderness places - our life becomes a blessed friendship with Holy Spirit Dependency. We've learned our true source for all that we desire and need.
