Excerpt from the Foreword

Ken was my pastor for several years before God called him into other aspects of ministry, not the least of which is being a Christian author. During his tenure as Senior Pastor of Golden Valley Christian Center, Ken ensured that his congregation was filled with God’s Word. Week after week he demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of God’s Word that few will ever attain. I suspect that it is this knowledge that enables words to flow so freely from his pen.

Clearly a teacher as much as a pastor, Ken illuminated God’s Word through logical and contextual interpretations – a very left-sided aspect of one’s brain. Over the years, Ken began to demonstrate that he could not only logically interpret scriptures, but that he possessed a unique gift of poetry that could bring out the beauty in them as well. Rare indeed is the man who can so astutely master and utilize both the logical and the creative sides of his brain for the benefit of those he serves. In this new devotional, Ken has transcended from being a good writer to an exceptional one.

When thinking about reading a devotional one has to ask themselves two questions – is it relevant and what is it that that makes it stand apart from the myriad of devotionals one can choose from? Scripture is far more important than the words of even the most famous of authors for it is scripture that penetrates our souls with God’s wisdom and daily guidance. Ken’s work herein ensures that God’s Word takes center stage and holds the most important place within it so that it remains both timeless and relevant. It is the incredible poetry, however, that separates this book and makes it stand apart from the others. Poetry can shine a light on God’s Word from a different angle, in a way that helps us to look at it in a much deeper and often more profound way. It provides us with a unique ability to understand and appreciate God’s Word in ways we may never have thought of before. We are suddenly confronted with beauty and clarity to our perceptions of our world and God’s Kingdom.

Ben Franklin once said You should either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. While one could say Ken has done both in his ministry, I can without hesitation say that he has definitely written something here worth reading. So I invite you to enter into “Treasures from Above” – let Ken’s ability to paint with words reveal the treasures of the Word of God to you in colors you may never have perceived before.
