In From Riches to True Riches, Marie Dukes gives a riveting account of her life in a time that spans nearly seven decades. Her transparency, openness, and vulnerability give a raw and penetrating account of her amazing life story. Like many of us, Marie was deceived into believing that riches only come in the form of tangible things and went after what she refers to as ""small riches."" A seemingly never-ending quest that took her from a troubled upbringing in Haiti that included abandonment as well as physical and emotional abuse. After immigrating to America, Marie's adult life was marked by serial abortions, rapes, attempted suicides, promiscuity, and failed relationships, not to mention life-threatening illnesses and painful losses. Even the accumulation of houses, cars, stocks, and financial wealth never seemed to fill the bottomless void in her soul. In From Riches to True Riches, you will discover that Marie's journey is not so different than that which many of us have taken before finally discovering the essence of true riches. Over time, Marie learned that true riches are not something you live in, drive, or keep in the bank, but they are the intangible treasures kept deep within the heart. Not only is Marie's story one of overcoming incredible odds and becoming successful; it is also one of how she was able to experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
