–(PR.com)– Stanley
Ridlen,
who
has
worked
as
a
police
officer
and
later
as
an
ER
registered
nurse,
has
completed
his
new
book,
“How
Almighty
God
Can
Use
a
Simple
Guy”:
a
stirring
collection
of
short
stories
that
explores
how
God
has
had
an
incredible
influence
on
the
author’s
life,
providing
him
with
both
blessings
and
challenges
on
his
path
towards
ultimate
salvation.

“Over
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
two,
the
Lord
has
been
leading
me
to
share
my
stories,
which
in
themselves
don’t
account
for
much,”
writes
Ridlen.
“However,
when
I
look
at
what
the
Lord
has
done,
the
stories
are
rich
with
His
hand
moving
in
different
areas
throughout
my
life,
and
His
fingerprints
are
all
over
anything
good
that
has
come
of
me.”

The
author
continues,
“‘How
can
I
know
that
I
am
saved?’
This
question
is
also
one
that
I’ve
grappled
with
over
months,
and
I
find
that
many
other
Christians
do
as
well.
I
will
toss
a
few
ideas
out
at
the
beginning
of
this
work,
but
I
intend
to
be
a
little
more
detailed
at
the
end.
I’m
not
a
seminary
graduate
or
some
type
of
theologian,
but
I
am
a
simple
man,
and
God
has
moved
me
in
many
ways,
giving
me
some
real
answers
to
the
two
previous
questions.
While
I’ve
joked
with
some
friends
about
these
stories
being
mine
and
that
they
can’t
have
them,
I’m
quick
to
say
that
God
is
waiting
to
give
them
their
own
stories.

“These
stories
that
I’ll
share
will
not
be
in
exact
chronological
order,
as
some
overlap,
and
they
will
include
things
from
my
childhood.
The
focus
will
be
on
events
after
the
age
of
fifty-six.
Having
been
a
believer
in
Jesus
Christ
since
I
was
seventeen,
much
of
my
adult
life
was
spent
attempting
to
convince
God
that
my
way
was
best.
For
many
of
those
years,
I
gave
God
most
of
the
areas
of
my
life,
but
that’s
not
what
He
commands.”
