DELAYED, NOT DENIED

What do you do when life refuses to leave on schedule?
Pastor John E. Miller awakened at 3:30 a.m., caught a hotel shuttle to Orlando International Airport, passed through TSA, and boarded his flight home-only to be removed from the airplane because of a maintenance problem.
After waiting several more hours, he boarded a second aircraft. Then another announcement came over the public-address system: the second airplane also had a maintenance problem. Everyone had to get off-again.
As Pastor John waited for a third aircraft to arrive from somewhere else, a life-changing message emerged:
A delay may change your schedule without canceling God's purpose.
Delayed, Not Denied is a compassionate, biblically grounded guide for anyone waiting for healing, direction, restoration, provision, a loved one's return, an open door, or the fulfillment of a long-awaited promise.
Using unforgettable airport imagery and practical Wesleyan-holiness teaching, Pastor John explores how God works through delays, disruptions, detours, disappointments, closed doors, missed connections, and unexpected changes.
