Walking Barefoot with God

In Walking Barefoot With God, Kathy Yoder opens her heart through two decades of columns-over 1,000 stories published in the Sioux City Journal-brimming with love, loss, and unwavering faith. From the redemption of Alley Annie to the playful antics of bunnies Flippy and Floppy, her words weave hope into life's rawest moments: her husband Dave's leukemia battle from 2005-2009; a 2020 car crash that claimed her second husband, Melvin, yet revealed God's radiant light; and a tender new chapter with Lyle in 2023. This collection of over 60 handpicked columns traces Kathy's journey through hospital rooms, haylofts, and tear-soaked nights. With raw honesty, she shares the ache of "The Blue Plaid Blanket," the comfort of angles in her darkest hours, and Lyle's gentle nudge of "one more step." Blending laughter with sorrow and gratitude with grief, Kathy's stories form a tapestry of resilience, anchored by Romans 8:28: "All things work together for good." Discover a grace that shines in every step as you walk through cancer's shadow, a wreck's devastation, and love's quiet rebirth. Her prayer is simple-to touch one heart with the faith that holds when the road disappears.
