They Still Call Me Judge - Paperback

by Judge Donald W. Price (Author)

From the outside, Don and Nelda Price appear to be the all-American family. Blessed with good jobs, healthy sons, and a happy marriage, everything is as it should be. Even as a judge, Don takes time to serve as president of the PTA and coach his sons' sports teams, as well as sing in the church choir with his wife.

But when their oldest son dies of cancer at the age of seventeen, their perfect life is wrenched from them. Suddenly, Don and Nelda are forced to see that their beliefs aren't solid. Instead of turning to God or each other, the pain drives Don to alcohol and Nelda to prescription drugs. Don shows up to work, sometimes, drunker than the defendants facing him in court, and Nelda ends up in the hospital several times after suffering nervous breakdowns. Their marriage is in shambles, and their once-perfect life seems to have no hope of revival-until one Sunday night, Don and Nelda attend a prayer meeting that changes their lives forever.

They Still Call Me Judge is Judge Donald W. Price's triumphant memoir of how God saved his family from further tragedy by transforming their lives through the healing power of love.
