81 pages that will change your life---inspirational,
5 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
A small town boy becomes a wind chime himself, through disease,divorce,and discovery. I laughed, I cried, and read each page over and over. This is a book you want to keep close by, give to friends and family. Each chapter, recounts many days of grief and grace as the author discovers how God works through tragedies, triumph, terror, and friends. The reader is reminded of ones own windchimes in their past and present life.
Tom Sikes has traveled the globe,become friends with celebrities, created a huge global internet ministry, created a church from 3 to 300, revived an exhisting church, and continues to give all the credit to his Lord and savior. OPossum stories, hunting experiences, family times on his dead end street,fishing, missions, emotions, loving and leading, you will not put this book down before you have read every chapter. After reading chapter 10, I am convinced that God's grace is sufficient, that God's power is made perfect in weakness. The author, Tom Sikes proves through his own experiences, not ashamed or proud, but in a windchime fashion of stillness, making music with his enthusiasm, and charm,------
God comes to us when we hold up the surrender flag, when we are spent, worn out, and broken. Read this book if you believe that we are to "Live more, Laugh often, Love Much"!!!!!!!! I recommend that you buy several to give to those you love.

"Wind Chimes" A Duke's Perspective
5 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
This book is very touching. The reader will be drawn into the life of the author. Be prepared to experience a wide range of emotions. Upon completion of reading this book, one will examine his or her own life as to how it is being lived. Do you live or do you merely exist ? This book should certainly be read by anyone who enjoys remebering days gone by and looks hopefully forward to all the days ahead.
Evokes Emotion
21 May 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The purpose of writing is often debated. To the pragmatist, writing is a matter of simple communication. To the technologist, writing is merely instruction. In my opinion, writing is about the evocation of emotion. By that measure, this little book deserves a high rating. Dr. Sikes' stories of his mother, brother, and various friends and aquaintances brought a tear to my eye. For those who enjoy finding the divine in the commonplace, I recommend this book.
