A message of hope is the refrain of Doug Oldham's music, and this book tells why he and his wife, Laura Lee, have embraced hope as their life's theme.As this engaging narrative reveals, life wasn't always bright for the Oldhams. Ten years into their troubled marriage, a desperate Laura Lee took their children and left Doug. Devastated and broken, Doug rededicated his life to God and made a lasting commitment to his family. With the flair of natural storytellers, the Oldhams recount how God worked in that bleak period of their lives, and how he continued to show grace in the midst of illness, death of loved ones, financial problems, scandal, and having a grandson with Downs syndrome.Sometimes these homespun slices of life will elicit tears and at other times, chuckles, but throughout you will appreciate the authors' refreshing honesty about their struggles.
