Heres a peek at his childhoodan absent father, an abusive stepfather, a mother who walked miles for cleaning jobs. A bully and a poor student.
That was Bob Boltz, growing up in Wayne County, Ohio, in the early to mid-1900s.
Statistics would have predicted the following for the next stages of Bob’s life: in trouble with the law, angry and hard-hearted, continuing the cycle of a dysfunctional family.
But not Bob. He became an adult who was known as a generous, hardworking, and faithful husband, father, and grandfather, all because Someone was watching. Someone cared. Someone called his name.
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold (Job 23:10).
