Life Is Like the Texas Two-Step: A Journey to Christ
by Rev. Rex Chambers
He was born to a fifteen-year-old mother in a Salvation Army maternity home. Fatherless and poor, Rex Chambers grew up moving from shack to farmhouse to borrowed beds, hauling water from frozen pumps and working mountain logging camps. When classmates asked about his father, he told them he had died in the war. The truth felt harder to explain.
What followed was a life no one could have scripted.
Rex went to Vietnam as a soldier and returned as one of only two survivors from a unit of fifty-four men. He married, lost that marriage, circled the globe twice, and spent decades resisting a calling he could never quite outrun.
Then, one quiet night in a small mountain church in Oregon, grace found him.
Life Is Like the Texas Two-Step is the remarkable memoir of an unlikely priest. With honesty, humility, and hard-won wisdom, Rev. Rex Chambers traces a life shaped by poverty, war, broken relationships, and extraordinary encounters with grace. From the logging camps of the Siskiyou Mountains to the jungles of Vietnam, from serving the homeless to preaching in standing-room cathedrals, his story unfolds through setbacks, perseverance, doubt, and redemption.
Along the way, he discovered the rhythm life had been teaching him all along: two steps forward into grace, one step back into doubt. Always moving. Always being led.
This is not the story of a man who had life figured out. It is the story of a man put back together, and the God who never stopped chasing him to make it happen.
For anyone who has ever felt too broken, too unworthy, or too far gone, this book offers something rare: hope.
