At the tender age of eighteen Richard R. Guerra had been masquerading in the adult world as a bartender and beverage manager at an upscale resort. Richard led the life of a player with thoughts only of greed, lust, and power. One fateful night, against his will, Richard's world was turned upside down and he was made to know true power - the power of God. Richard Guerra knows how to tell a story and an amazing story he has to tell in Four Balls and Walking.
Paralyzed in an accident when he was just a young man, Guerra thought his life was over. What he discovered was that his real life, his spiritual life, was just beginning. Guerra takes the reader along on his journey filled with laughter and tears and shows how, with God's help, he ultimately persevered through his darkest hours and triumphed over adversity.
