Wilson Adams discovered firsthand the agony of divorce. Left alone to raise three children, he writes with compassion on the struggles of being a single parent. Author of Around the House and Around the House Again, Adams lifts readers from the pain of brokenness to the joy of discovering how God can turn tragedy into blessing. He serves as minister with the Cason Lane church of Christ in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
David Lanphear’s oldest son, Adam, was killed in an auto accident in 1999. Five years later, his wife died unexpectedly following a heart attack, just 34 days short of their thirtieth wedding anniversary. He is an attorney, and serves as a Bible class teacher and church elder in Bowling Green, Kentucky. He writes candidly from a spiritual perspective about his personal experience with loss, and his climb from the shadows of sadness to the sunlight of joy.
