Pastor Paul Rodriguez's Newly Released "Behind The Eight Ball" is a Heart-Wrenching Memoir of Tragic Loss, Close Calls, and Saving Grace
"Behind the Eight Ball" from Christian Faith Publishing author Pastor Paul Rodriguez is an intimate autobiography of a man teetering on the brink of the abyss, strained close to emotional breaking point by the loss of both parents six weeks apart, and how a life of hardship, drunken rebellion, and staying behind the metaphorical eight ball had underprepared him for this darkness--if not for a saving light reaching to him from the other side.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Behind the Eight Ball": a stirring personal account of salvation from tragedy. "Behind the Eight Ball" is the creation of published author Pastor Paul Rodriguez, a former drunken brawler turned respected Southern Baptist pastor and two-time Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention president from Idaho.
Pastor Rodriguez shares, "My brother Jose drove as fast and as safely as possible to the hospital. The same hospital where my father had died a few weeks before. My brother had the lights on in the car and was honking the horn to let the people know that this was an emergency and they should get out of the way. I was giving Mama mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the back seat. I didn't know what else to do. I just kept doing what I was doing. But all I heard was a gurgling sound coming from somewhere in her head. I didn't want Mama to die. We had just lost Daddy a few weeks before and now it appeared that we would lose Mama too.
"'Mama, don't leave me,' I kept telling myself. I knew she wasn't just leaving me, but I felt she was at the time. There was still five miles to go to the hospital."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Pastor Paul Rodriguez's new book is a raw, honest account of what it's like to be in darkness, and what it's like to be saved into the light, never again the same.
Pastor Rodriguez's story will inspire and comfort the brokenhearted without making light of their pain, only pointing to God's all-redeeming power that can turn their utmost sorrows to highest joys in the aftermath.
