A Widower's Walk

Gripping. Moving. Many have read this book in a single setting, seeing their own spiritual journey in its pages. Danny White achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Marine Corps, has a beautiful wife, and a quiver full of delightful children. At first glance, he appears to be the prince in a "happily ever after" fairytale?a man living the American dream. But his happiness has been forged in the fires of hardship and his character has been hammered out on the anvil of adversity like few others will ever experience: he watched his pregnant wife and five-year old son die in a single-vehicle accident during a military move in December 1997.This book is a memoir of his journey, and how the Lord brought him through the pain and into the joy of a new marriage and reads like a modern-day book of Job. Like Job, Danny thrives today because he is anchored on the courage-giving truth that nothing happens to him that does not pass though the hands of a sovereign, good God who can be (and must be) trusted even when we don't understand His ways. Never presenting himself as the hero of the story, Danny humbly admits his failures as a Christian, a husband, and a father, on his "every man's journey" toward realizing the reality of Christ and beginning a legacy of living for a higher purpose than just working for personal advancement. He does it in a way that all people can relate to and learn from because all people come short of the glory of God and grow weary at their repeated failures to balance faith, family, fitness, and work. In these pages, Danny unfolds a pathway to the power of God available to everyone who knows Christ, giving the glory to the Lord who mentored him to the point where he is now requested to give "seminars of hope" to those who want to become who they were born to be. This book will encourage your soul and refresh your spirit.
