Synopsis
In the early 1990's, Sandi Patty fell head-first into an affair, a divorce, and a 10-year career hiatus. Yet in the past few years, Sandi's career has once again taken off as she has toured the country, singing in every venue from performing arts centers to state fairgrounds. Sandi has been busy learning how to move on, how to learn from her mistakes, and how to let the Lord use her in any circumstance. That is the subject of this book.
Falling Forward welcomes us into Sandi's world of big families, busy tour schedules, conversations with women around the country, and personal conversations with God. It doesn't tell people how to live. But it does show God's amazing creativity in using broken people to glorify him.
