Bobby: A Young Man Claimed by God

By Jean McDowell

My headline is in bold so I have put these characters in front of and behind my bold text BOBBY(A Young Man Claimed by God contains excerpts from the life of Bobby, whose formative years were made almost intolerable by an abusive father. His family was torn apart and by the age of 17 Bobby has lost contact with all of his brothers and sisters. God uses different people and events in the process of drawing Bobby to Himself. Bobby ultimately professes faith in the Grace of God, and in the salvation brought about by the death of Jesus Christ at Calvary. He dedicates himself to God's service and seeks God's help in finding his siblings. He quickly finds, that God has already been working His purposes out, when he realizes that the crippled woman, whom he has befriended is really his grandmother .She has been estranged from his family all of his life. God also brings about the opportunity for him to go to college, something he had not even allowed himself to dream of. While escorting his sisters to and from school he had met Anna , who captured his heart. Again God works in his life and he meets her again and eventually marries her.They bring his grandmother home to live with them. Eight years go by and Bobby has almost given up any hope of ever seeing his siblings again, when his little sister walks into his church youth group. Anna insists that she leave the group home and come to live with them. As the story unfolds, we read how God in miraculous ways brings his two older brothers to him and shows what a difference the love of God can make in a family.
