  Today's book back story is about Diana Keathley's book, GodSway . From the author --  GodSway: My Anecdotes with God as a book has had its own journey.

Truth is, he is much the same, at least from outward observations, as he was a decade ago – except ten years older – still stuck, paralyzed with fear about a variety of issues: working, how to begin looking for a job, what kind of job, how to explain why he hasn’t been working, loss of faith and i
