For more than eighty years, author Eulie R. Brannan has been an avid reader. At a young age, he learned he could vicariously experience adventures and travel to many faraway places he physically couldn't reach. Now, at age ninety, he continues to read. Years ago, Brannan began collecting quotations from his readings. He calls them golden nuggets, and they have originated from many mines. In Nuggets from Many Mines , he shares a compilation of his favorites. These range from Tod Beamer's "Are you guys ready? OK let's roll," to a leper's cry, "Will I never be free?" And Alexander the Great's, "I have my hopes." Culled from a variety of sources, most especially the Bible, Nuggets from Many Mines , seeks to inspire, provide comfort, and help those who are experiencing problems and challenges in their lives.
