When I finished writing my fist book, which was my autobiography, With God As My Partner, and had submitted it to the publishers for printing, I thought I was done for a while. About two months after that, I was almost asleep one night when the thought came to me: Don't Stay at Calvary. I was instantly awake and lay there for about a half hour trying to figure out what it meant. Getting nowhere, I committed it to the Lord and went to sleep.

When I finished writing my fist book, which was my autobiography, With God As My Partner, and had submitted it to the publishers for printing, I thought I was done for a while. About two months after that, I was almost asleep one night when the thought came to me: Don't Stay at Calvary. I was instantly awake and lay there for about a half hour trying to figure out what it meant. Getting nowhere, I committed it to the Lord and went to sleep. A couple days later, as I was praying, the verse in Matthew 16:24 came to mind where Jesus said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." It connected with the thought I had about Don't Stay at Calvary. This book is the result of those thoughts and the meditation that I spent on them. I had no thought of writing another book so soon, but I felt impressed to try to address the question I had been asked so often. "Why is the church of today so different from the church of the first century?" I certainly have no "corner on the market" of knowledge or wisdom, especially when it concerns such a profound and involved question as that one. I do, however, have over fifty years in the ministry of the Gospel, having answered the call to preach on the last Sunday of April 1969 and felt it may be beneficial to share what I believe God has laid on my heart about that subject. It is by no means the "final word," but I hope it will be a clear challenge for the church to follow Jesus in service rather than "stay at Calvary" in complacency.

Autorenporträt
Pastor Ron Palmer was born on September 27, 1942, in Valentine, Nebraska. He grew up living what some would call a "poor, difficult life," but what he just considered was life. In 1962 at age 19 he was saved at the Baptist Church in Kilgore, Nebraska. He served the Lord there, with his Pastor mentoring him for a year. He then moved to Montana where he got out of Church and was backslidden for six years.During this time, he joined the Navy in January of 1964 and after getting out of Navy bootcamp he married Arlee Chamberlin on June 20th of 1964. He was a hospital corpsman, surgical technician from 1964 to 1967. He spent a year in Vietnam from October 1966 to October 1967 during which he helped establish the first Surgical Team in military history. It was like the Mash units only smaller and stationed on a helicopter carrier instead of inland. Upon getting out of the Navy 1967, they moved to Baldwin Park, California in January of 1968 where they started going to the Baldwin Park Free Will Baptist Church. In June of 1968 Ron rededicated his life to Christ during the same service Arlee was saved in. In 1969 he started preaching, and in 1971 God called him to Pastor. He pastored the Downey Avenue Free Will Baptist Church in Bellflower, California, for fifteen years, after which they moved to Billings, Montana. There they started the Cross Roads Free Will Baptist Church, in January 1986, where they have been pastoring since then.Pastor Ron has written two other books prior to this one. His first was "With God As My Partner," which is an autobiography, and his second was, "Don't Stay At Calvary," which is a book on the importance of consistent Christian service, and why the Church is so different now than during the first century.His ministry has been a journey of faith and miracles, and by sharing what he has been through in his ministry in small churches, he hopes to be able to encourage those who are in similar ministries by showing how God can effectively use them.
