Splinters On The Carpenter's Floor

Our God is continually shaping us to conform to the image of his Son. Splinter's On The Carpenter's Floor evolved from many nights in prayer to God to remove me out of a deep depression. Jesus was a carpenter by trade, but the splinter's he created are those that fall from men's hearts. He's using a plane on our emotions, filing down our pride, and putting a fine stain of his blood of Calvary on each of his works. Ask Jesus into your life and he will carve your life into something very beautiful. The sign in his carpentry shop window says 'Always open, quality work from a master craftsman' Praise His Holy Name!

Mercy, hope and love – but of these, love is greatest.

There are times in a person’s life when they hit a wall, hit rock bottom, or find themselves in a bad situation. What we do at these times is an illustration of who we are and what we believe. There are; however, times when we simply can’t go it alone. It is these times when we need someone to lean on; something to hold on to. In “Splinters on the Carpenter’s Floor” we find the source of inspiration, the power of faith and the hope of an eternal Sheppard.

“Splinters on the Carpenter’s Floor” is the culmination of the Lord’s impact on every aspect of life. From the meaning of love to the joy of hearing a bird’s song in the morning we see his hand in all. Even in troubling times, as we see first hand from the experiences of the author, we see the Lord working in us. He is shaping us for something better.

There are difficult times and we don’t see how things will be better for us but just as described in “Splinters on the Carpenter’s Floor” those are the times we are being shaped just as a carpenter does with a piece of wood.

Randolph Alvis expresses his passion and love for the Lord on every page of “Splinters on the Carpenter’s Floor.” He is a normal person with the normal concerns about life and family which makes this book refreshing and easy to connect with. Readers can relate to the experiences shared by the author and his family.

“Splinters on the Carpenter’s Floor” captures the essence of hope, joy and love provided and freely given by our Lord and savior. I recommend this inspirational book to anyone in need of comfort, up-lifting or motivation.

About Author Randolph Alvis

I was born in South Norfolk, Virginia (now called Chesapeake, Va.) in 1951. My Mother loved the Lord and she raised my brother and two sisters in a Christian home. Growing up in a small town you knew everyone in school and I don’t think we really appreciated how wonderful our childhood was until we look back now. I graduated in 1969 and joined the Naval Reserve and served six years and received a Vietnam Veterans medal.

After I was discharged from the Navy I worked for a Customs House Brokerage firm for six years. In 1978 I drove a Pepsi truck for a year and after that I ran a bread route for a local bakery for twenty years. My wife and I have been married since 1972 and have one son Chad.

In 1985 I was suffering with what urologist said was prostititis and the pain was everyday for 3 and half years. My wife and I attended a service with Charles and Frances Hunter at a local arena and I received prayer for healing that night. God healed me as I was prayed for and the pain I’d been suffering turned out to be my lower back. God also Blessed me with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. For the next seven months I couldn’t stop talking or praying for everyone on my bread route.

The testing of my Faith followed and I stopped attending church and doing worldly things again. Thanks to God he didn’t remove the speaking in tongues from me and believe it is his presence that has kept me through the darkest times of my life.

Last year when I was out of work, my wife got laid off and my son lost his house in foreclosure I fell into a deep depression. My prayers to God every night to remove me from the depression evolved into Splinters On The Carpenter’s Floor, whereas the Holy Spirit put on my heart to write down my prayers. Forty two writings make up the book and I believe they have powerful messages that enabled me to get through my difficult time.

I have been attending Rock Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia for thirty five years. The church is very vibrant and I believe God is moving through Bishop Ann Giminez and her daughter Robin and husband John Blanchard to do some great things in the near future.

I’ve sung in the choir in the past, but now I attend services with my oldest sister Barbara. I enjoy listening to Jentezen Franklin, Kenneth Copeland and David Jerimiah.

I love Indianapolis Colts football, University Of Virginia football and Old Dominion University basketball. I’m really looking forward to this up coming football season, whereas I just bought a 50” Plasma. My wife and I love working in our yard and going shopping in Colonial Williamsburg and going to Nags Head, N.C. to the beach.

For everyone life has ups and downs, but regardless of whatever you go through I believe God blue printed your life before the foundation of the earth. He spoke to my heart during those difficult times last year and said ‘God Hears, He Cares And He’s Moving In Your Situation!’

Where To Order Splinters On The Carpenters Floor

I don't know who's saying this was, but it sure struck a chord with me. 'Consider the work of God: For who can make straight, which he made crooked?' Have you ever been so distraught you've said I wish I'd never been born. If I'd known my life would unfold like this I'd choose not to come. One problem....God and God alone plans the beginning of one's day, one's journey and one's span of existence. Read my newest writing on Twitter. Be Blessed Today!
