I've seen a lot of new business owners transition from the truckto the office without making any changes to their mentality, and this is a recipe for failure.

After many years of searching, John Houston found his way home—his true home. Now, he wants to help you do the same. John Houston has spent the past sixteen years building for others what he didn’t always have for himself growing up: a family home. Today, John is one of the premier custom home builders in Texas. Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you see signs proudly presenting “John Houston Custom Homes” that paint a picture of the kind of home life John would have done anything to have as a child. From a young age, home was not a place where John wanted to be. After his parents divorced and his mother moved out, his father remarried and moved in with his new family. John and his older brother struggled to adjust and began living by themselves with little to no adult supervision at the ages of 11 and 15. They helped support themselves financially by working long hours running a lawncare business before and after school. The years that followed were challenging but also marked by God’s protection, even when John didn’t realize it, as he overcame hardships that could have permanently derailed his life. He met and married the woman of his dreams, completed his education and became a respected and successful business owner. And he isn’t confused for one second about who’s ultimately responsible for his success: God. In Finding My Way Home, John Houston reflects on a life of trials, hardships, and painful mistakes through the lens of gratitude for God’s enduring faithfulness. He explains, “God created a story with my life that puts a spotlight on His mercy and grace—a story of my anger and His forgiveness; of the broken family I grew up in and His restoration; of my demanding ‘leadership’ as a husband and father and His model for me to lead with love.”

I've used my knowledge and experience both personally and from professionals to put together this self help book. It's a story about my life, my addictions, my struggles, and how I overcame it all, which saved my life. I have a very unique story about how I recovered that I want to share with people, and more specifically those who struggle with themselves. My story can be very helpful for many people in getting their lives back on track. Many of us are on a dark road for so long we lose our identities. We have nothing to look forward to and spiral into despair. That is a dangerous place to be and I have been there far too many times. I am a recovering alcoholic of many years and know how hard it is to find peace and happiness. I hope my story can inspire people to live the lives they deserve regardless of the mess they are in.

This is the story of my life and what I needed to do to survive. My daydreams were my escape from life when I was a child. When I became an adult I learned there was always something I could do to make things better like getting a job for more money. If a project doesnt work one way you can weave around and go another way. I feel like Ive been weaving in and out all of my life. The most important thing is to never give up. A person can do anything if they never give up. That is the message that I hope you receive from my book.

Her mother sternly said, "Gene! Stop that tap dancing right now! You're going to dance your way to hell!" The first half of her life surely felt that way - three sexual assaults, two abusive husbands, three children for whom she was the sole provider.

She was also given a TV contract with the original Hank Williams Band in Montgomery, Alabama, as twin fiddler. DANCING MY WAY THROUGH HELL! focuses on life struggles and a forgiving spirit which was the key to bringing Gene through those experiences in six states from coast to coast and leading her to an amazing future....
