One Thing At A Time

Book Cover & Preview Text
Tell your story. Write your story. You have a good one, you know. Just talk from your heart.
People have been saying these things to me for a long time. So I finally decided to do that. I'm going to tell you the story of a great life that fell completely apart and became an awful life. And how bit by bit and with one thing at a time, a life in a deep pit of despair turned into a life full of more blessings than imaginable.
Why does it matter? Because each of us has a story that needs to be told. Because what I’ve learned from listening to others talk about their often crazy and sometimes lives full of just plain bad choices is that everyone has something in their past that they wish they would not have done. And if you stick with this story, you may feel sad, shake your head and ask why, or maybe get angry. But in the end, my wish is for you to feel the joy that I have come to know from the lessons learned. To discern the God whispers we should all follow. To know when you take a genuine, all in leap of faith, life can be turned into one so amazing there is no way you ever could have planned it to turn out that way.
