Salvation Station

Ruben Gonzales

Description

This book contains real life miracles to increase Faith as you read their emotional, life-changing stories they had the courage to share. Glory to God!

Salvation Station was written because of the author’s enlightenment to fully comprehend Eternity, Faith, and Salvation through Jesus. This comes with a basic understanding that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.



Many people are exactly where Ruben Gonzales was before he accepted his born again gift from our Creator in Heaven. Being born again is not a religion, it is a life changed by God. Many people may not have the opportunity to read the scriptures (like the author did not have until age 47). Therefore, this book is a short cut for the readers so they can tune into Wisdom with less effort and increase their Faith. The book features stories from individuals who had their lives changed considerably because of receiving a real life miracle from God.



Salvation Station is his bare bone plea to make sure the readers are ready for eternity. Time is running out as each one of us has an appointed time to meet our Creator. The last days will be like the days of Noah. How many people do you think there were pounding on the side of the Ark when water was already up to their ankles? How many bloodstains were left there on the sides of the boat from the knuckles of those perishing as the Ark began to float?



Salvation Station can be an eternal life saver if the reader receives the free gift of salvation coming from our Lifesavior. For others, who are already born again, it will help increase Faith as they make their transition into Heaven.

ENDORSEMENTS
Ruben Gonzales, the author of this book, has been groomed by God for such a time as this. God brought him through much in his life that each chapter was in preparation for that which God needs him to do. That is to lead misguided people to the Lord.
His hunger for a ‘real’ God and a ‘real’ experience of salvation was the seed and motivation for finding that path and then sharing it with as many people as he could up until this day. His foundation of sixty plus years dictates the building size of his ministry.
This title of this his 4 th book, is so appropriate (SALVATION STATION) because this is Ruben’s heart. He wants to lead people to the one, true God who provides the ‘only’ way to Heaven through salvation. Make sure to read his third book called GOLDEN WALK.
God has truly blessed Ruben with a knack for writing. His witty style brings out things than an average person would not be able to describe; Ruben is truly gifted.
Sharing the testimonies of people that have recently come into his life is such an awesome way to put an exclamation point on the message he wants to get across. Each one of these testimonies will no doubt increase your faith in the God that Ruben serves.
If you have not read his previous three other books, BARRIO WALK, BROKEN WALK AND GOLDEN WALK, I challenge you to get a hold of them so you can follow the thread on what he is reinforcing in his new book, SALVATION STATION.

Salvation Station, which is author Ruben Gonzales’s fourth published book, is a gem of a tool for sharing Jesus and the hope found in Him. There is not one wasted word in this book. It is packed with scripture, exhortation, testimonies, and wise truth from God, with humor generously intermingled throughout.
A wonderful thing about Salvation Station is that the reader doesn’t feel preached to, but rather greatly encouraged that Jesus is Lord and our hope is fully in Him.
If you, or loved ones, or friends, or coworkers, or even strangers you meet need the hope and salvation found only on Jesus Christ, this book will cover powerful points in an engagingly well written format. It also is a perfect book to gift to a doctor’s office or any other office with a waiting room. People who are being squeezed by life’s circumstances will be able to pick it up as they wait and read stories of hope and healing.
This is truly a book you’ll not want to keep to yourself after you’ve read it. Share it with someone else and let them be blessed by it, as well.

Ruben is a dear friend and a Godly brother. His personification of our Lord through his daily walk is an amazing inspiration to me and a witness to those around him. I am so happy he is releasing his 4 th book that encourages us in daily hope.
We are ever so obsessed with being entertained in every aspect of our lives. Maybe we are not that different than those who came before us but the desire seems accentuated in our lives today with all of the venues we have to choose from. I couldn’t help but think about this while I read Salvation Station: Tuning into Wisdom. I couldn’t put it down because I was thoroughly entertained with the anecdotes and completely blessed with the meat of the scriptures.
There are many modes of sharing faith through fun stories and Salvation Station captures the genre perfectly. Without a doubt I will give this book to those who are seeking for more spiritually and for new believers. To the seasoned believers it is refreshing and worth reading in order to refresh the soul. I have known the author for 25 years and I know he lives the love he shares in this book in serving our Savior Jesus Christ. You will be blessed by reading this book and will bless others in sharing it.

FOREWORD
It’s all for the Glory of God alone that Salvation Station has been written. It is remarkable to see how God has touched Ruben Gonzales in the past five years. This is now his fourth published book, and like his three previous books, Salvation Station is about sharing Jesus with others. Ruben fully understands that there are many being raised like him that may never have the opportunity to hear the entire Gospel. For example, in this book you will read how as a sports fan in his late twenties, he did not know what the signs at televised NFL games displaying the words John 3:16 meant.
This book is one of encouragement and increases faith when you read about ordinary people, like you and I, being touched
