A Heritage of Faith

A Heritage of Faith shows the legacy of faith handed down through families. Many incidents in the lives of the author and her family are told as she and her husband served Southern Baptist churches, preaching and working to bring people to a saving relationship with Jesus. The book shows how God can come into a person's life and change an entire family. It shows how God used a man to go to churches that were dying and help them to begin to love and grow again. It also outlines many of the methods he used as he pastored twelve Baptist churches in Missouri, Texas, and Florida to accomplish that purpose. Many of the people they met are showcased in these sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant stories.
Christian families are not immune to worldly influences, as is shown in the chapter that tells how the author and her husband learned that one of their sons is gay. Neither are Christian families immune to great sorrow, as is shown in the chapter about one of their daughters who experienced infertility for many years.
A Heritage of Faith has stories of many hilarious things that happened in the author's family and in their churches, as well as some serious decisions made by people they met along the way. The author shows how a world-wise man and a naive girl put their lives together and have served churches for fifty-five years.
