A saltine cracker, a stuffed teddy bear, a cell phone, a video game, a pastry shop and a tornado; what do all these things have in common; a lesson God wants to share with you. Really? Sound like nonsense?

A few years ago, the Holy Spirit began speaking to Brent giving him interesting spiritual object lessons from everyday occurrences.

In his book Saltines and Stuffed Bears, author Brent Smith utilizes his walk with God in short stories, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform the things we experience on a daily basis; the abstract, the routine, and the mundane; into an uncommon lesson from God's Word that will open your eyes and give you a new perspective. Brent has been walking with the Lord for over thirty years and has a lot to say about the joys and struggles of life.

As you read each story, you will be saying one of two things; I never thought of that before, or shouting as the author does, Well Glory

Find yourself blessed, amazed, encouraged and praising God as you read and learn new spiritual lessons of a different kind. Join Bro. Brent in his unique world of Saltines and Stuffed Bears.

Brent Smith is a graduate of Bethany Theological Seminary in Dothan, Alabama He has a B.A. in Christian Counseling and an MA in Religion. Brent has been married to his best earthly friend Donna, for thirty years, has three grown children, three grandchildren and two beautiful cats.
