Dishner’s new book, Growing Up On A Red Dog Road ($12.99, paperback, 9781626976436;
$6.99, e-book, 9781626976443) is the riveting autobiography of a
boy growing up in rural West Virginia during the Great Depression. Born to an
alcoholic father, the future didn’t seem promising, especially in the midst of
an entire nation’s financial collapse. However, God made a way, and
miraculously brought salvation to every member in this young man’s family—plus
many more feats that exceed the imagination. This book is a picture of God
glorified in James McCormick’s life.
“[I hope that readers grasp] that God has plans for us beyond what we have ever imagined for ourselves. He is strongest when we are the weakest,” states the author. “Our journeys through life are only made worthwhile through our relationship with Jesus Christ.”
