Review
"Cal knows that God can! From personal experience and pastoral observations, God’s mighty hands and loving arms have carried Cal and others through the dark valleys of life. Nothing is too hard for God. We know this to be true but we sometimes need reminders. Through the local church, Pastor Cal has shepherded his people with a godly passion and vision to trust God. Believers have awakened to the power and grace of Christ, the One who can do the impossible. Yes, He can!"--Emerson Eggerichs, Author of Love & Respect “I have spoken at Northwoods Community Church in Peoria, Illinois, and experienced firsthand the power of the Holy Spirit in action in Pastor Cal’s congregation. The amazing stories in God Can! stand as proof that the promises of the Bible are as true today as they were in the days of Jesus, Paul, and Peter. If you are looking for motivation and encouragement in your life, then open the front cover and start reading!”--Bruce Wilkinson, Author of The Prayer of Jabez
