The words of Private Times Meditations II were birthed out of a strong belief that God loves shared time with us every single day. Author Gerald Pierce discovered that when we intentionally shut ourselves away from the noise of life and calm ourselves in a private space of intimacy with God, He responds with words we would never hear anywhere else or at any other time. These are special moments, and he hopes as he shares them with us that we will experience the greatest experience of life: Private Times with God.

Zum ersten Mal kreuzte etwas ihren Weg. Doch es war nur ein weiteres Opfer der Dürre Hagar legte Ismael in den Schatten des Busches. Dann eilte sie taumelnd von ihm fort. Nicht, weil sie sich an ihr Versprechen halten wollte. Sondern weil sie ihrem Kind nicht beim Sterben zusehen konnte.
