| Barton, Bill & Arnold, Henry - HOMETOWN FAVORITE |
HOMETOWN FAVORITE Three friends from Springdale, Mississippi never dreamed that the game of football would take them to places in life that they only dreamed about. At least that's what happened for two of them, but Dwayne Jobe truly lived the life of blessings. He attended college on the West coast, met and fell in love with the woman of his dreams, and landed a position on a team that would help him further his career as an NFL player. Life was good and he had more endorsements than any other player on his team. Dewayne never forgot where he came from and always gave God praise for the blessings in his life. He even took ribs from fellow teammates that his attitude was holier than thou, however in life things can change just like that. For Dewayne the events that changed his life forever were like a nightmare. He lost his wife, son, niece, nephew, and mother in one dramatic act. Where was God now when he needed him the most? Did Dewayne give praises to a being that could be so cruel that he would allow a person to achieve the highest success, just to take everything at one time and leave him to rot away? As Dewayne is at his lowest point in life, suffering alone, will God come back to help his child that has lived according to his beliefs all his life? These questions can only be answered by buying this book. Whether you are a believer of a higher being or not, these authors have written a book that will make you wonder if there is life after hitting rock bottom. Dewayne's story is sure to wake up something inside of you, especially if you are facing difficult times now. Dewayne is just as human as you and I, and the God he serves is just as real as the one we serve. Reviewed by Lora McDonald
