Stand at the Cross Roads Hilda Hellums Baker

Stand at the Cross Roads unfolds in suburban Houston; a small, rural Texas town; and a remote, rugged wilderness. A true story that shatters the common belief that God no longer does anything spectacular. In 1996, following a series of personal failures and financial setbacks, Hilda Baker embarked on a journey determined to put her conviction that God was still a faithful, prayer-answering God into action. Now, she exposes the nitty, gritty truths that followed. On morning at a retreat in south Texas Hilda experienced an encounter with God that catapulted her from cosmopolitan Houston to Chriesman, Texas - population seventy. Hilda knew exactly what she was supposed to do, but had no idea how to do it. The daunting task was to carve a sanctuary out of dense forest. But, finally having found purpose for her life she hitched up a U- Haul trailer crammed with her worldly belongings, and with her sixteen-year-old daughter in tow, she set out for her new life.
