The Bush Always Burns introduces a Jesus all of us can seek, find, and trust in moments that are bright and moments that are dark. Heath Adamson takes us back in time to meet an undesirable character from his youth: him at age seventeen. Adamson grew up knowing a little bit about the occult, too much about drugs, and almost nothing about God. If you find yourself struggling to know your heavenly Father the way Heath did, The Bush Always Burns offers strength and solace for today. It is a life-giving reminder that Jesus is (and always has been) waiting for us to turn and see that the bush always burns and the ground is always sacred. His power is constantly available to us if we want it. This is the first title in a series of three releases from this author. The second release titled The Silence Always Speaks will be available September 2015.
