Dear Stacy, Thank you for a most inspiring book in "Nothing But The Right Thing". I have been writing about my life through the urging of the second woman I was married to. We are both children of The Christ, but weren''t back then. I believe that the LORD will use this narrative to effect other men in the body of Christ who may believe that they can treat women in any manner that they deem necessary; I did and it was really ugly. I hope to confer with you on this if you have time and desire.
