CROSSROADS

and LEMON LOAVES

“This wonderfully-written book stirs up deep nostalgia with its reminiscences and not a few tears with its comfort for the hurting and its courageous, selfless protection of life.”

-Rod Schorr, Pastor Emeritus

Discover the inspiring story of hope and abundance as you journey to a very first crossroads. In Crossroads and Lemon Loaves, you will explore the life path of a teen couple faced with news of an unplanned pregnancy, their tumultuous pilgrimage toward restoration, and where they are now over forty-three years later. This is a story of faith, making a stand, and how the most unlikely couple has been used by God.

“A great testimony of doing the right thing even when it seems impossible and how God’s way is always the best way.”

— Hagan Miller, Senior Pastor

Meet the Author

Tracy Stice is a wife, mother, grandmother, and a Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner. Tracy’s faith helped her navigate life as a teen mom and build a successful marriage, family, and career. Tracy and John have four daughters and nine grandchildren. They have established Restoration Ranch in Idaho to use in their ministry. They reside in Orange County, California and travel to Idaho regularly.

“Tracy records a wonderful story of God’s goodness and how only He can bring forth sweet rewards from the bitterness of life. This story is a testament to the timeless truth that the easy decision is not always the best. Rather, choosing to do what is right, even when all one can see is the hardship ahead, yields the greatest harvest. John and Tracy’s journey is encouraging, inspiring, and faith-provoking. I believe all who read it will be challenged to ‘taste and see that the Lord is good’ (Psalm 34:8 .”
