A Memoir of Restoration: From Despair to God's Amazing GraceDr. Bill Walker, an M.D., and Dr. Nancy Walker, a Ph.D. in genetics, were a young couple with tremendous hope, only to see their life together shattered by fear, anxiety, and drug abuse. Driven apart by their struggles and medicated with drug and alcohol dependency, their marriage ended in divorce.
Ten years later, a crisis with their college-age son brought them back into conversation. Nancy was miserable in an abusive second marriage, spiraling out of control. When Bill told her, "I love you and want you to come home," she replied, "I'm coming," setting them on a path toward restoration. Their journey was not easy. It was a "refiner's fire" that demanded forgiveness for one another, total surrender, and absolute trust in God. They faced continued battles: Nancy's recovery from addiction, the pain of failed second marriages, and later, her life-threatening struggle with breast cancer and sepsis. Through these trials, Bill and Nancy became an example of God's amazing grace. Their story details how they moved from the deepest despair to a life of fulfillment, love, and gratitude, enveloped in the goodness of God. From planting one of the fastest-growing churches in the country to undertaking medical missions worldwide, they found God's healing and restoration, leading to a profound love affair with their Heavenly Father.
