Book Description
When I left my daddy's home as a young woman in the 1960s, I could never have imagined the journey I would take in learning about the power and love of my Holy Father. From small-town living to international traveling, my gifts have allowed me to minister to those in need, including myself and those I love. This is my story of victory in the face of death and adversity. Of how sometimes, we have to leave home to find "home." When I Left My Daddy's House is a testimony, a love story, if you will, and it is my fervent prayer that as I continue to share it and walk in my purpose, that my praise shows you the way to the ultimate creator and keeper of love - The Father!

Book Description
Compelling and moving real-life accounts of the impact on family life of the return of the troops at the end of the Second World War. Summer 1945. Britain was in jubilant mood. At last, the war was over. Soon the men would be coming home. Then everything would be fine: life would get back to normal. Or would it? Six long years of war had profoundly changed family life. For years, Dad had been a khaki figure in a photograph on the wall, a crumpled letter from overseas, an occasional visitor on weekend leave. Now he was here to stay, a stranger in a group that had learned to live without him - and was not always prepared to have him back. Most homecomings were joyful, never-to-be-forgotten moments of humour and hope. Others were hard. And there was no one to deal with the tears and the trauma. It would take hope and courage for families to live and love together again.

Book Description
In our modern world of smartphones, video games, wifi hotspots, and Netflix, it's hard to imagine that, less than eighty years ago, there were people in rural Arkansas who were still scratching a living off the land. What makes this book so very special and historically relevant is simple - This book was not written by some college professor who, with clinical indifference, made an extensive study into a bygone era and then wrote down his cold musings on life in those days. Instead, the author of this book relates his own experiences with humble honesty and wit-filled humor. His fond childhood recollections are framed by the wisdom of many years as he relates what life was like for himself and his family during the 1940's.
