Forty-Year Prayer
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Raised in a devout Christian household, the author abandoned his faith after losing his ability to play baseball as a high school freshman due to poor math grades caused by an undiagnosed intellectual disability. This disability prevented him from participating in sports and extracurricular activities within the Texas public school system in the late 80’s, thanks to a state law called no pass, no play. This experience eventually sparked his interest in politics as he continued to learn and navigate the broken Texas public school system and flawed college admissions process. Despite his academic setbacks, he built a distinguished political career in Washington, D.C., where he still works today. At 47, he experienced a spiritual awakening while attending a Catholic Mass with his childhood best friend in Boston, which rekindled his faith. After praying for wisdom for 40 years, he recently realized that his prayer for knowledge had been answered through his young daughter’s academic and equestrian achievements at the top-rated girls' school in her state. The story of this high school and college dropout, who never completely lost his faith in God despite some challenging times, will captivate you. This autobiography begins with generational prayer and the benefits that come from it. The work is a girl-dad book written by an author who understands that life is very short, having battled heart issues since birth. He regrets not raising his daughter in a traditional Christian environment and feels his time is limited. The purpose of this book is to provide a roadmap showing the benefits of accepting Christ as one’s Lord and Savior. It aims to inspire fathers across the country to write a book for their children, offering them peace of mind when their time on earth comes to an end.
