Subject: From Homeless to Hope: Chris's Story Will Inspire You

Sometimes all it takes is one simple habit to begin changing a life. Chris is living proof.

A Story of Hope and Transformation




Hi Friend,


Over the years, my husband, Ralph, my daughter, Heather, our veteran colleague, Gary, and I have been blessed to help many people rebuild their lives.

In 2000, we started a homeless veterans program to help men and women who had fallen on difficult times. What began as a small mission quickly grew, and eventually we were providing 46 beds for both veterans and non-veterans.


In 2008, after Ralph underwent several surgeries, he found himself struggling once again with an addiction to pain medication. When he entered treatment in California, something extraordinary happened.

That experience became the birth of the 3 G Method and the inspiration behind the book I'm so excited to share with you today.


One of the greatest blessings to come from that journey has been meeting people like Chris.

We first met Chris in 2006, and he has been part of our recovery family ever since. He has lived in several of the recovery homes we started, and for the past eight years, he has lived in our personal home.

I was deeply honored when he agreed to share his story in my book.

He is so much more than an inspiration.

Meet Chris


Chris writes:

"My journey to sobriety began in 1989, but the path was far from a straight line. After years of struggle—culminating in homelessness and a life-saving six-bypass open-heart surgery—I felt like I had reached a dead end.

When Linda and Ralph took me in, they reminded me of the things I had learned in treatment years earlier by getting me back on track with the simple daily practice of the 3 Gs.

Through the ongoing challenges of recovery and the physical pain following my surgeries, these tools became my anchor. They changed my life in ways I never thought possible.

Today, I have been clean and sober since 2014 and serve others as the Head Driver at Rennes Assisted Living Facility.

If you're looking for a way to transform your own path, I cannot recommend this book enough. The 3 Gs work, and they can put you on the path you've been searching for."

Stories like Chris's remind me why I wrote this book.

Over the years, I've been blessed to meet so many incredible people, and I'm honored to share many of their journeys throughout these pages.

I hope you'll enjoy getting to know them over the coming weeks, and I pray their stories encourage you as much as they've inspired me.
