THE WINSTON STORY The Winston Story is an inspiring, heartwarming tale of a man, his family, his treasured friend and hunting partner- a yellow Labrador Retriever, and terminal bone cancer. However, there is so, so much more to the tale. Faith. Obedience. Patience. Praying, Listening. Acting. The Story of Winston will likely make you laugh, cry, and think about deep things. It might challenge your basic beliefs about God. Tim bares his heart and is open and vulnerable as he shares this true story about his dog Winston and a battle that changed the lives of many people. "A poignant and faithful telling of faith, healing, and real-life situations. A frank, honest, and realistic portrayal of what happens when sickness enters our lives." Gara "Great book about a guy who loves his pets, and through one pet's illness, he encounters some amazing people and hears from God through some of those people. Easy to read, like having a conversation with the author." D Nash If it's important to you, it's important to God.  There are no parts of your life that are too small or insignificant. You and your entire existence mean a lot to our heavenly Father. Yes, He is running the universe... but, somehow, He finds a way to watch over and be concerned with the infinite details of our lives.  He is still a miracle-working God. He still stands in the gap when science has reached its end, when there seems to be no way... when they say, "I'm sorry, we've done all we can do..." But God.  That's right... But God.... but God hasn't even started yet... But God has the final word when we put our faith in him... But God says we are His sons and daughters...But God moves when the situation seems unmovable... I hope and pray that my story of faith and miracles touches you and builds your faith. I would love to hear about how it does.  Be Blessed and Healed. Tim Rupard Tim Rupard is a man who wears many hats.
