A Long Journey Home

Most people will never be rejected by their family, outcast and alone at 14. Most people won't be threatened, stalked and almost murdered by the mob. Most people will never serve time in a maximum-security prison. But everyone has gone through traumas and devastating disappointments. In this riveting memoir, StevieRay Hansen will lead you through his incredible journey from homeless kid to multimillionaire oilman willing to give a helping hand to other throwaway kids. "I realized that there was a powerful connection between forgiveness and prosperity," Hansen says. "When I finally forgave my parents from my heart, it seemed as though whatever had blocked prosperity came unplugged. "I plowed money back into the business. I gave large amounts to widows and orphans. I made a startling discovery. I couldn't give it all away. God kept multiplying it back to me. Forgiveness changed everything. "It's hard to describe the difference that forgiveness has brought. It's like winning a lottery ticket. You can hold onto the ticket-with all its promise-or you can cash it in and claim your new life."
