| Publisher Description: A mid-night experience with my dear bride, Barbara, was the beginning of DID YOU KNOW?. She has a way of asking me questions at dark-thirty at night. She nudged me in the back about six times before I was awake enough to understand that she was about to unload a new midnight nugget. Actually, it was well past midnight ... closer to 3:00 AM. She had been reading her Bible. She's a night person and does a lot of her scripture reading at dark hours. But when she has a question, she takes the scriptures quite literally where Paul told the women to ask their husbands at home. The 3:00 AM hour has never been a deterrent to her. I asked her once if these discussions could wait for morning, and she replied that she could always call her Pastor. Even at 3:00 AM, I knew she would have no problem with picking up her cell phone and calling me with her question just to get her Pastor's response. Here is her beginning question: Did you know, in the New Jerusalem there will be one continuous day; never a night? But there will be a river flowing through the city, and it will have fruit trees on both sides of the river. The fruit will have a new crop every month. So ... are you ready for this at 3:00 AM? .... If there is no night, only one continuous day .. how long is a month? This and similar questions became the stimulus for me to answer the questions in a short format. Then, it graduated into reading short scripture passages and commenting on them in about 400 words. Then I began posting them as a daily blog on Facebook. When I passed the 100-mark on Did You Know dailies, I realized that God was giving me a book to share. This is the second volume of Did You Know. I have begun formatting volumes three and four for future publication. What began with a middle-of-the-night question from my dear wife, Barbara, and began with the words, "Did you know?," has grown to at least four volumes of inspirations. Our prayers are that you will draw encouragement from what the Lord has given us to share, and that you will share it with others. Dr. Keith A.
