God’s Velvet Hammer: How an Ordinary Girl Was Called to Do Extraordinary Things

From a quiet street in a small town to the avenues of power in Washington, D.C, from the comfort of obscurity to the spotlight of radio and television, from a broken heart to a position of strength and responsibility, God wove the chords of my life in such twists and turns, it took a book to explain it all. If I knew why He called ME, I would tell you. My parents could have walked out of the pages of ＂Grapes of Wrath.＂ My beginnings were unremarkable, yet God gave me a remarkable life. God’s Velvet Hammer is my story.
