The Return of a Dear Friend
Back in October Amy Goeken's dad, Harold Southwick, shared his testimony with us and spoke about his new book, "The Way Back Home", that was recently published. We are very excited to announce that he will be having a book signing at Borders on Saturday, December 19, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The address is 570 Meyerland Plaza, Houston 77096 - don't hesitate to show your support for Harold by dropping in & saying hello & having him sign your book! I know he would love to see some familiar faces.
