"Expertly structured to maintain interest and keep pages turning. The letters on my screen kept doubling and tripling through a sheen of standing tears, sometimes for sorrow, sometimes for joy. Dixie's story runs the spectrum of emotion from hilarity to tragedy; a deeply moving, experiential work. This is clearly the work of an experienced storyteller. This is a solid, well-written book." - Xulon Press How did I go from living in a large ten room country home to living and working in the inner city of Lexington, Kentucky? The path my life took led me through times of deep sorrow as I grieved my young husband's death, to times of great joy as I experienced God answering prayer after prayer in the miraculous provision of a 33,000 square foot building that became known as The Christ Center. Many people tell their story of going from rags to riches. My journey took me from a place of having every material thing I could dream of to a place of absolute dependence upon God to provide even my next meal. This book is about the many unexpected turns and bends in the road I've taken as I've journeyed through life. It's about many of the experiences I've had and lessons I've learned along the way. But more than that, it is about the faithfulness of God and how He meets people where they are living in whatever season of life they are experiencing. This book is my testimony of God's faithfulness in answering prayer. Dixie resides with her husband of 47 years, Jim, in San Jose, California. Over the years they have enjoyed an active life of hiking, bike riding, camping and spending time with their three married daughters, son-in-laws and six adult grandchildren.
