Story Behind The Book
For most of my life, I believed there was an earthly place that would be "home." But through a series of life events, God showed me that for the believer, no place can ever fill that home-sized hole in all our hearts. Instead that place in our hearts is reserved for a person.
In TEXAS ROADS, Dani's journey to find home is reminiscent of my own personal journey, and what I learned along the way.
