Follow the Yellow Brick Road: There is a Place Where Dreams Come True

by Reba Rambo-McGuire, Judy A. Gossett, Tommy Tenney (Foreword by)

Follow the Yellow Brick Road Reba Rambo-McGuire has dared to open a few top secret files from her private life to help others who need an awesome proof of God's love and forgiveness, His redemption and restoration. Wherever you are on your pilgrimage from Kansas to Oz and back, you may have been caught up in a whirlwind or two. You may feel as though life has come crashing down. You may not know where on earth you are, but Heaven woos, summoning you to a higher realm of destiny. God has revealed golden stepping stones—simple truths and answers, life lessons and secrets—to guide you to King Jesus and the home He has for you! From a poor, lonely childhood in the coal mining regions of southwestern Kentucky to the pinnacle of contemporary Christian music, Reba Rambo-McGuire grew up singing gospel music in the long shadow of her famous parents, Buck and Dottie Rambo. But her life has been anything but idyllic, with her first marriage ending in a life-shattering divorce followed by the grim revelation of a dark family secret, and then her turbulent marriage to Dony McGuire, a serious substance abuser. Join Reba for what promises to be a momentous journey...and grab a handful of tissues. You'll soon discover the power of God to transform the lives of those who pursue Him.

I found this book in a thrift store and couldn’t wait to read it. Dottie Rambo’s songs have always been an inspiration to me, so I was excited to read Reba’s book. Even though her experiences and ultimate triumphs through her faith in Christ was very inspiring, knowing she and her husband divorced in 2019 has left a disappointing question mark for me. To be honest, it would have been better if she had never written this book at all. Her second divorce only give’s satan another tool to spread discouragement.

When I began reading this book I had expectations that were different than my actual experience. I was thinking it would be a light read about the life of one of my favorite gospel singers from my teen years. Boy was I wrong. It told the story of her life alright, but it was not light by any means. I had no idea of the hell she went through and how much God had transformed her and her husbands life. It just goes to show you never know what is truly going on in the life of a person when all you see is the outward appearance. I have always love the Rambo's, but I think I love Reba more now because I can see the human side of her and how transformation is possible on any level.
