Outlines From a Pastor-Volume 1

About the Book

Outlines From a Pastor is a collection of sermon outlines and Bible Studies that I have given at various times during my forty plus years in the ministry. There are many good books like it for busy pastors, Sunday School teachers, missionaries, and Christian workers. Some outlines are borrowed from others and some are original. There are also some poems I wrote about being a pastor and about the Christian life. This is followed by some illustrations and short stories. A few pictures were added for my friends. It is my prayer that this book will be a help to others and that the gospel of Jesus Christ will be shared with others. Pastor Steve Janke

About the Author

Poems from a Soldier by Stephen A. Janke The Vietnam War deeply devided our nation during the 60’s and early 70’s. Our returning soldiers during America’s longest war were treated shamefully in parts of the country. In time the public has learned to separate the war and the warrior. As a result many veterans did not speak of their year away from home for a long time if ever. It took me 20 years to slowly tell people by way of poems what it was like. At first they trickled out and then the trickle turned into a flood through the years. This book is also about the wonderful War Dogs of Vietnam. My sentry dog’s name was Kobuc. Our Air Base was the largest in Vietnam. The Security Policemen were the first line of defense to protect the many bases in Vietnam. I served at Cam Ranh Air Base with a great bunch of guys that made that long year almost tolerable. Most of the several thousand dogs that went to Vietnam never returned. This book tells their story as well.
