“I remember when the Father opened the palm of His hand before all the created beings and creation and the glory that exploded forth across the universe.

About the Author
Michael McBane has had a life filled with "God Encounters, a place were God invades your heart and understanding to reveal Himself to you. These are the elements that formed this book ' The Narrow Road of a Grand and Curious Opportunity. ' His introduction to Christ was dynamic. It was a collision of heaven and his life an invasion of Christ's love. The cultivation of God's relational integration of His grand love into Michael's life is a privilege he has been graced to capture. A relational process that has given him a growing understanding that is beyond mere knowledge it is the reality he breathes daily. It is his substance and the words he shares are elements of this formidable substance. Michael is a man who lives a rather simple life of devotion to daily following Jesus Christ. He truly knows Jesus is the very substance of reality and hence life. As he says it, “Jesus sought after me and captured my heart and is very jealous over my life. But thats a good thing.” He is crazy in love with his wife of a life time. Loves and cherishes his children, son in law and grandchildren. Collectively they are graced to retain a lifestyle that builds life in a framework of revealed family community life. He seeks to be attentive to God’s desire for the moment and thus leans his heart, ears, eyes and understanding to apprehend and contend for that. This desire separates him from religion, old and new and the trappings therein. Which has proved to be quite interesting at times. Beyond this he is a painter, an artist and a writer. He is involved in sustainable agriculture. A true renaissance man
