Eagles Don't Always Fly
Written By: Pastor Harrell T. Wilson

Introduction by: Pastor Wilson

Eagles Don't Always Fly is a book about people that have given success its true and valuable meaning. There were those who were born to fly, and they did, yet experienced dry places. They were born with a song that someone else sang, a sermon someone else preached, and a poem that someone else published. These with powerful revelations that someone relayed to others. A burden someone else built upon. Many started churches they themselves chose not to continue to pastor, only to allow others to put the church on the map. Their best sermons, poems, songs, and revelations are yet hid away in some secret place, waiting for the right moment in time to share their heart-felt burden with the world. These fit Hebrews chapter eleven and verse thirty two; "Some refusing deliverance."

I have chosen two "eagles" you will read about in this book, to honor and represent all of those who have taught the church that eagles don't always fly: the late E. L. Jenkins and T. C. Montgomery. You will discover in section one, eagles don't always fly. In section two, you will feed on eagle food while waiting. Then in section three, you will discover the waiting is over, now you are ready for flight. It is time to soar. I trust these three levels will change your life forever and encourage your ministry.

Every now and then, a book will impact us and become a reference point for the rest of our lives. Eagles Don't Always Fly is that kind of book

There are many writings on success and tutorials on how to soar to the heights. Seldom does someone address what all people of great faith in God know - eagles don't always fly.

We will all have times of vulnerability as we touch down and rest on the crag of a rock. But, it's not a time of dread, rather, a time to rest in the sovereignty of God. As you will learn in this book, God did not design us to soar all of the time. He knew we would need times of rest, which reminds me of the verse in Isaiah, "This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing" (Isaiah 28:12).

Please take your time when you read this book, and then take a look back in these pages from time to time. The great secret of soaring the skies is not in the flight itself, but in building the strength to soar, one more time.
