Summary of Bustin My First Fifty Years
In this 21 chapter biography of the life of Bustin, he examines various events of his life.
A carpenter making his own tools is an explanation of why I, Pastor-Missionary David Cox, write my own material. I like the idea of producing the material that we use in our ministry and also for evangelism.

Evaluation by David Cox
Bustin was a missionary in various different parts of the world. This book is a biography of his life and ministry. The book would be of interest to those interested in missions and church history.

FOREWORD
My beloved companion, my children, and others of God’s dear children are largely responsible for this book being in print today.
It has been a problem to know what to leave out and what to put in. I have endeavored to include that which might be of interest and inspiration both to young and old. For all its flaws I take the blame. For that which proves a blessing to our readers, may God be praised.
My prayers go with this book that every reader may be blessed of God, and that in that “better country” we shall mutually share our experiences of God’s marvelous grace.
His and yours for the “Other Sheep.”
G. T. B.

fam42 The Foolish Child explains what the Bible teaches on fools and foolishness, and also a parent's solution to a foolish child.
Excerpts: Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. A fool is a person who rejects advice.
We can define the concept of foolishness as the lack of values and vision toward eternity, toward spiritual things. In other words, this person lives focusing on things that the person wants, and he does not pay attention to what God says as being important, or how God says we should live.
Proverbs 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.
The basis of being wise is that you do not limit yourself, to just what you think you know. A wise person opens his thinking to the wisdom and advice of others, and weighs others’ opinions to see if they are right or not. The foolish only considers what he himself thinks, or what other fools like him think.
