“This book is a powerful story and teaching that relates with so many today who’ve gone through devastating life experiences. Bill, a businessman and Marine veteran, starts the book writing about his divorce, his drinking, and his efforts to fix his life. He shares about disappointments and finally finding the meaning for life. I’ve known Bill and his wife, Pam, for years and I’ve watched God rebuild their lives and take them forward. Bill learned how to recognize God’s voice and follow His lead. There will always be distractions along the way. It is our choice to make the best of life by staying focused on God’s Word, His Holy Spirit’s direction, and our relationship with Jesus as number one.” —Pastor Sharon Daugherty.
