We all tell a story as we walk through the pages and chapters of our lives. Mine began in Farmersville, a small Texas town outside of Dallas. In those early days of my youth, I attended the great tent revivals of the 1950s. The atmosphere in these services was electrifying as the glory of God fell upon the place.I witnessed unbelievable miracles of healing; some happened in my own family. These experiences caused a longing to know God more intensely. I wanted to be used by Him and obey His every command, no matter how out of the ordinary His directions might be.Each chapter of this book is filled with life lessons to help build your faith and encourage you to do what God asks of you. As you do, watch Him open supernatural doors that men cannot open or close.Travel with me to a hospital room where a young man lies in a coma on his deathbed. Watch God bring him back to life. Leaving pride behind, stand up with me in a busy restaurant and get the attention of all present. Speak a word of encouragement to a military troupe about to leave for war.Follow my footsteps through the sands of Egypt and see what Joseph saw. Stand in awe as you explore the ancient archeological ruins of Petra in southern Jordan. Travel with me to the land of biblical Israel and walk where Jesus walked. Go with me to Italy and stroll through the frozen city of Pompeii, buried under the volcanic ashes of Vesuvius. Experience the magnificence of France, England, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and many more. Let's go to the busy streets of New York City, home of Lady Liberty. Dine with me and with the rich and famous in Hollywood.In every place, God is always present with a lesson to be learned. I have lived a colorful life, to say the least. Each chapter of my life is filled with events, which I hope will inspire you and build your faith as you travel down life's highways.

In spite of her situation, her warrior spirit gave her an inner strength and tenacity to survive. She was determined to be an overcomer and fight for her destiny.In her early teenage years, Jeanette made a decision. She would not allow the circumstances that shrouded her life to define her future. Throwing a few belongings in a sack, she left her house of horror and found a place of refuge living under a bridge.A loving family by the name of Kurtz became aware of Jeanette''s homeless lifestyle. They took Jeanette in, adopted her, and raised her as one of their own. Under Mom Barbara Kurtz''s tutelage, Jeanette became a born-again Christian. Jeanette''s life would never be the same. Moving forward, Jeanette earned her bachelor of science degree, fell in love, and married Dr. Gary Golden. Together they would build a new life in Hemphill, Texas. There Jeanette became involved in her church and her community. Her warrior spirit and her strong faith in God took her to new heights. Jeanette dared to believe for the impossible to become possible. Nothing could stand in her way: Stage 4 cancer, the miraculous birth of her sons, the unbelievable and insurmountable community and church activities, the overturning a Texas Department of Transportation law prohibiting religious highway signs on personal property, and her remarkable resolve to restore her relationship with her biological family.God indeed had taken a young girl out of the darkest abyss and placed her upon a solid rock. Through her life, a light would shine like one of the brightest stars.
