This colorful memoir takes us on the journey of a man whose hunger and desire for life could not be ignored, resisted, or denied. Author, Chip Dodd gives us an intimate look into the moments that compelled him to return to who he was by realizing whose he was. Using the Beatitudes, Dodd shows the eight movements we all must make if we are to live in freedom, fidelity, fullness, and faithfulness. With each movement, Dodd explores one of life's great paradoxes: the only way we get to the treasure we are made to possess is by traveling through tragedy and surrendering to the God who can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
