  • A Radical Difference
    • This is no sweet little come-to-Jesus story. My name is Texas and I was born a preacher's kid, but I was no goody-goody. I ran away from home at 17 years old, sure that I knew what was best for me. For 28 years I traveled a path that took me to places from which few return. Dealing drugs and manipulating circumstances was how I survived. But all these tactics did was leave me cornered in addiction. My tainted knowledge of love and polluted desire for escape kept me on a treacherous treadmill that continually fed the heartache of those I loved. This is my unvarnished account of the years I spent running and what brought that season to an end. If you'd like a friend or loved one to read this book with you, they can order a copy from ARadicalDifference.com.
