John E Arline

He said, "Tell Them" John E Arline

These eloquent works of prose detail the author's struggles as he wandered in and out of the wilderness of worldliness. His musings are inspired by the pitfalls encountered while trying to live a Christian life. These personal accounts capture the essence of the early stages of his spiritual journey and records his many stumbles as he fell down repeatedly and kept getting back up. After many years of living a self-indulgent, secular life, the author of He said, "Tell Them", John E. Arline yielded his spiritual leanings to the Christian faith. While trying to establish a working relationship with God and enhancing his self-awareness, his spiritual turmoil was great. He lost many skirmishes to his flesh and oftentimes became despondent and self-loathing due to the acknowledgement of his own glaring weaknesses. In an effort to relieve the aches of his soul, he began petitioning God in his written work of prose. During one long, well-remembered, tear-drenched, counseling session regarding helplessness, his pastor and friend suggested, "If your writings provide solace for you during your moments of self-disappointment and guilt, don't you think others might benefit as well?". . . He said, "Tell Them".
