A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the PulpitThis book is written with no other agenda than to simply entertain the reader. In the truest definition of the word it is not an autobiography; it is a collection of short stories that have happened in the lives of Arnold & Joy Lastinger in over 50 years of ministry. You may laugh; you may cry. But, you will enjoy reading about how the marvelous grace of a loving Lord has carried this couple through 50 years of ministry together. Some of the stories are too fantastic to be believeable. But, every one of them is true. Brace yourself for an enjoyable read! |
