Around the World in 88 Years -E Book - Arthur Burt

PrefaceIn more than 70 years of ministry, I have proved many truths— sometimes by doing things right and sometimes by doingthings wrong. A few of the stories I relate might offend somereaders. My hope is, by exposing my misdeeds and the lessons Ihave learned through God’s dealings, I might spare others fromfalling as they learn from my mistakes. It is not my intention tostir up mud or to deal with the sordid, but rather,by uncovering myself, to be a blessing to others.At the turn of this century, I look back over the 88 yearsof my life, with more than 70 years as a Christian, andsometimes feel as if I am dreaming and will soon awaken.I cannot believe that all those years have gone by!Most of my contemporaries are gone. Except fora handful, the people from my generation who I knew, loved,esteemed and fellowshipped with are gone.I have never been important in the eyes of men, never one ofthe “greats”. If you ask me who I am, I will tell you. I amnobody. And the message I bring today is that every somebodywill now have to become nobody. We must loseour identity in the Body of Christ, because Father will not giveHis glory to anybody but Christ.— Arthur Burt
