This updated book updates the previous books, The Adopted Son 2010 and Autobiography of A life Worth Living With God's Help 2021, that describes the life of Joseph C. Peterson from the time he was born in 1939. The 85 years of life developing businesses, raising a family, and helping others through life struggles, he now updates the last four years of new directions. He continues to describe and give praise to God for his help that has helped him be successful. He continues to show how success is not material wealth, but the love for God and family. He continues to try to leave his mark in this world by showing love and compassion to others. He wants to let people that read this book, know that you must have God in your lives to make any success possible. Again, one of the critical goals of this book is to let people know that if they are mistreated and abused while they are growing up, to never give up and use God's help to overcome any obstacles. There are many examples in this book about how prayer and guidance from God helped change the course of his life and many others that he came in contact with over these last 85 years.
