Just a few moments before his death, my father looked straight ahead and with a calm voice said to me, 'Almost there!' It has been 20 years since his homeward journey and I have been haunted by those words. What was he seeing that we couldn't see? In my career as a surgeon and a witness for Christ, I have observed many deaths when the last moments were calm and unafraid. Four years as a hospice volunteer brought me even more intimate with those last moments. I think that the valley David wrote of could also represent moments of extreme circumstances in our lives when we are in the Shadow of death: an automobile accident with severe injuries, the sudden loss of a child or spouse, the loss of a career, a consuming fire, a devastating flood, the birth of a stillborn. Do you have the Good Shepherd to guide you through these times? We only have this moment, this breath. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Do you have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding? Are you ready to walk through the valleys of your life? Come with me as I walk through the valley of the hospice and witness the grace and comfort that only God can provide for us. Journey with me and meet my Lord. There will be stops along the way as we see how the world deals with the valley. I pray that this book might be a life changing experience for you as we journey to 'Almost there.'

A riveting reading experience, Though I Walk Through the Valley is the suspense-filled story of Julie Lerette's struggle with dark forces that threaten her and her family when they buy an old fixer-upper house. The evil the family encounters comes disguised in many forms. Julie learns first-hand to hold fast to the power of God's promises; trusting that He will lead those who call upon Him through their dark valleys and onto the sunlit mountains of His grace and triumph. Although the story is based on many true-life events, some literary license has been taken. (A video of this book is also available.)

This is a story of healing set in the context of a wealthy philanthropist who gathers a dedicated group of Christian faithful to resurrect a dying town by creating a high quality medical center. It is more than the challenges, labor and sacrifice required by this ambitious ten year project. We enter the lives of multiple citizens from this poor and medically underserved area. The rich ebb and flow of their hardships, disappointments, and redemptions is the real meat of the story. Humans, of course, are God's creations, so the reader also finds joy, along with the satisfaction of seeing a main character's hatred and quest for revenge quelled by compassion, reconciliation and love. 1 Corinthians 13:13. — Bill E.

This book reminds us of how resilient the human spirit is. Its main characters live, love, and achieve in the ebb and flow of their lives, encountering slights and setbacks, but questing, overcoming, and thriving, to be suddenly stunned""flattened!""by true tragedy. This story explores what happens to people like you and me when we are frightened and vulnerable, staring into the unblinking eyes of terrible fate. It can be difficult to read""we are almost overwhelmed, wanting to cry out, "Oh no!" and flee in terror. Yet, forging on, we are relieved to find fictional friends offering their much-needed support. Then, to our rising joy, the bedrock which keeps us from sinking appears""a robust Christian faith! Trust in our God, and His abundant love provides solace, hope, and guidance, along with unexpected reserves of strength. Cuffed to the ground, both characters and reader arise, regain their footing, and face the changed future with dignity and renewed courage. As the story ends, we forgive the author for forcing us to peer so deeply into the pit and thank him for allowing us to bask in the warm glow of divine love revealed. We are moved to prayer.

"Do you want to hike the Appalachian Trail again?" he asked. Although DP Turner had hiked 1,500 miles of that trail during his adolescent years, that question from an unlikable classmate in high school led to a return forty years later. Thinking he was a hiking expert, Turner would find that a return would be quite different. Turner presents a trek fraught with hardships, beginning with a fall that breaks his ankle nearly two miles from help. And yet a glimmer of hope and wisdom shines through. The trail's culture and path had changed. Backpacking technology had passed by him. But along the way, that unlikable person would become a close friend and hiking partner. Come on a journey on a path full of danger, wonders, and remarkable people with stories needing to be told. Discover how hiking philosophies and generations had changed in four decades. Go on a quest as he tries to finish a forty-mile gap in Virginia that had haunted him all during his adult life. Along the way, he rediscovers personal growth that had lain dormant since his teenage years and what it really means to be ‘Almost There.'"
