A trilogy of my life and how I bettered myself so that others can learn how to live life to its fullest.
This trilogy consists of: the early years when I was growing up and living with my parents was a time of innocence and inquiring. The middle years were those years when I entered the military, got married and through misguided judgement, got off track with God. I drank and used every curse word I could find. After a DWI--for which I was jailed--and alcohol rehabilitation, I moved into the latter days, the ones I'm in now. After drinking heavily and by myself for twenty-five years, I left the bottle behind, found the doors between me and God were not closed as I thought and have lived a wonderful life without alcohol ever since.
My story is one for those who still suffer and don't know there is a better way to live outside of drugs or the liquor bottle. If my book saves one person from going what I went through, then I have been successful.
Excerpt
His parents were good Baptists. Strong Baptists but not the Bible-toting, Bible-thumping kind of 1940--the year they were married. It was four years before their son was born under the sign of Leo on July 26, 1944, in the small town of Ironton, Missouri. He wasn't christened; that's not a part of Baptist beliefs. Nor was he baptized to ensure his safety into heaven upon his death. But he was given love by his parents, Violet and Gordon Thompson.
