| Having a pocket full of quarters is a metaphor for being prepared to face life. Cheryle Touchton, affectionately known as "The Pocket Full of Quarter's Lady," is called to travel across America talking to individuals about their relationship with God. These stories of pain, love, and hope come from ordinary people and churches that Cheryle met while traveling through all fifty states, handing out quarters, evangelizing, and listening to spiritual beliefs, struggles, and victories. The secret to meeting every human need is the greatest commandment, the Sh'ma: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself" (Luke 10:27). Cheryle's travel journal leads the reader through five steps for applying the Sh'ma to specific life needs. As you study the Bible verses applied to each situation, you'll understand that the secret to an abundant life is to stop focusing on your problems and to focus more on loving God and your neighbor. |
