Learning By His Light: Observations of a Matthew 5:16 Life

By Frank Quinones

Book Overview

Learning by His Light by Frank Qui ones is a humorously adventurous page turning journey from the author's wildly imaginative childhood to his awkward adolescence. The godly lessons learned along the way during these formative years were achieved by quietly observing the daily Christian life of his father, Jos , who labored as a factory worker to support his family while using his spare time to preach the gospel. Reluctantly accompanying his father to wherever he was invited to preach, and seeing how his father handled whatever challenges the day brought, Frank learned in time the meaning of living a life based on Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father." At the time Frank's father didn't know he was teaching his son these lessons. Then again neither did Frank realize he was learning them. It all came into focus when Frank realized he had become like his father with a modest paying job, a family to support, and invitations to preach in various churches. From hiding in the church bathroom to skip Sunday School, to lessons one can only learn while riding the subway, to keeping his offering money to buy an extra slice of pizza, Frank shares these relatable personal parables with you that have helped him understand what living a Matthew 5:16 life is all about. It won't be long before you realize the calling all Christians have on living a life that glorifies God, edifies the Body of Christ, and testifies to the lost about Christ the Savior. The author shares with you how living according Matthew 5:16 can be beneficial for not only you and your loved ones, but for those you come across in your daily living looking for what you have already found in Jesus.
