About the Book
All over the world people talk to God. It is called prayer. All Christians can tune into God;s wavelength. God has historically spoken and worked His plans and purposes through mankind. In 1984 Jack Tipping heard God's voice.
Acting in obedience, seeking direction from the word of God and council from Godly people, Jack planned and constructed Angels Valley Retreat Centre. Situated in north central Alberta, God wanted to establish a place of rest for His people and a place of healing for the broken. Just as Noah encountered opposition and ridicule while building the ark, so Jack faced opposition and suspicion building Angels Valley.
Refusing government funding, Jack built in faith. God provided abundantly and exceedingly more than could be asked or imagined. "Angels' Valley" is an account of the provisions of God as He fulfilled His word to Jack and others who had caught Jack's vision.
Jack Tipping didn't travel the length and breadth of the globe or found a famous ministry; instead in faith and obedience he stayed home and built a healing retreat centre in his own backyard. Every chapter of this book recounts God's planned for events all of which surprised Jack keeping him humble, faithful and when he wasn't pouring cement, on his knees.
