Book Description

Imagine that you are living the "American Dream": a family man with a respected position at a Fortune 500 company, a two-story home, two kids, two cars, and money in the bank. Now picture yourself and your family receiving the news that you have cancer, a diagnosis that promises a defensive battle for survival. How much would this test your faith and the faith of your family? For Bill Peterson, the American dream became a nightmare. Within six months of the cancer diagnosis, his employer, Enron, collapsed and he lost his health insurance and then his home. The collapse of Enron has been a confusing mass of high finance, corporate deception, and Wall Street shenanigans. Flashlight Walking juxtaposes a human life, and death, against the unemotional and swift life, and death, of the fifth-largest corporation in the world. Join Bill and Cathy Peterson as they travel this incredible journey with God teaching trust only one step at a time. The direction -- the light -- seemed only the size of a flashlight beam! It's a love story, an adventure, a soap opera, and a war movie, all rolled into one. Share the Petersons' story as they lose everything of the way of life they once knew -- their home of fifteen years, their second car, their security. And experience their conviction of the presence of God in their lives! Book jacket.
