Thirty years ago, when I began writing this as my very first book, I thought long and hard about the interviews I would need to conduct to get the story across to readers. What I didn't realize is that no interviews would be necessary. God would provide enough material in my own life for my story. Good, bad, indifferent...didn't matter. There are so many good things in life that happen to each of us. However, life is not designed for good things only. Hardships and heartaches also happen. Why? They must; otherwise we are not living life to its full potential. And suffering, as hard as it is, brings us closer to God...always.
