Raised in poverty with a father who rejected his children, my teachers and the police were convinced I had no future and would wind up in prison. As I battled addiction and depression and dabbled with crime, all the while haunted by defeat, my path seemed set. But God had other plans, and over time, he turned every stumbling block that had been thrown my way into a stepping stone toward success.This raw, real story follows an underdog on an unbelievable journey from the streets to the pulpit. From divorce and adultery to burnout and suicide. From total bankruptcy to millionaire success. Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. More than a memoir, its an inspirational roadmap for getting up after life knocks you down. It also proves that circumstances dont define you and that with faith, anything is possible. If youre facing what seems like insurmountable odds, this book will encourage you to keep going. If you need hope to defeat the voices of discouragement, this motivational true story shows its never too late to turn any stumbling block into a stepping stone that will lead you toward peace, happiness, and fulfillment. No matter how far down you are, a greater power is at work that can lift you higher than you ever imagined. "When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt.
