Product Description
by Vern R. Heidebrecht (Author)
This is the biography of Vern Heidebrecht, a highly successful Christian minister whose pastorates have been marked by long terms and remarkable church growth. After pastoring in Sawyer, North Dakota, Fresno, California, San Jose, California, and Visalia, California. His career culminated in him coming back to his home town of Abbotsford, Britsh Columbia, where he helped Northview Community Church grow into one of the largest churches in Canada. What is surprising about this autobiography is that it is not so much a listing of his achievements (which were many) but a frank description of his struggles, as well as what God taught him along the way. Along with a description of his Christian ministry, the book gives ample attention to his family life (he and wife Carol were blessed with four children) and his later struggles with Parkinson's disease.
