    [synopsis] => Lafayette and Louise find true Paradise trying to escape small-town Texas.

The Bridge to Paradise reveals how one couple spanned the 20th Century building their bridge to forever on timbers made of promises - to their friends, family and to each other, but most importantly, to God.

A beautiful and heartwarming story.

Life's truths and God's love and mercy abound. In this day and age of broken families, it is wonderful to experience the steadfast and faithful guidance of Louise and Lafayette through hardships as well as abundance with plenty of love to go around. Earthy and spiritual.
Fred weaves a tale of a Christian family who thrives and survives some of history's world-crushing events. The strength of a rural American family, thrust into the decades of depression, war, and cultural change, demonstrates how a strong spiritual foundation produced the greatest generation America has ever witnessed. It depicts a long-lost tradition of true faith, honest values, and hard work in tune with nature that everyone needs to read.--Jan Dean, Retired English teacher.

The Bridge To Paradise by Fred Dickenson chronicles five generations of a Christian family--Lafayette and Louise--in rural North Texas from before the Great Depression to the present. The forty chapters--a number reminiscent of the years of testing in the Bible--present a nostalgic account of a family's journey through time and how their faith in God was rewarded in the lives of their descendents. 
Fred's style captures the language, attitudes, and culture of Texas while integrating reflective, poetic sonnets at the beginning of each chapter. Sit back and enjoy this nostalgic portrayal of an amazing family, and how their faith gave them strength to prevail through the difficult challenges of life. --David Martz, Ed. D., Retired Assemblies of God Missionary, educator, author, and adjunct professor at Global University, and North Central Texas College.
