When he didn't find success, he fell into a state of loneliness that fed an addiction he had battled since adolescence. Soon, he was homeless, playing his guitar on the street with a cardboard sign asking for money. But then he cried out to God in repentance and need, and God graciously met him. Doug then found sobriety, regained some footing, and in a miraculous moment was discovered outside a food pantry by a Swedish musician and documentarian who put his story on the air in Stockholm. Within days of the documentary airing--even though he still walked to the public library every day and acquired most of his belongings from nearby Dumpsters--Doug had the number-one selling song in Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoing Down to the River\u003c\/em\u003e is Doug's inspirational story of faith, forgiveness, and the power of prayer and belief. It is also the never-give-up tale of a man who played music for 55 years without success only to become a chart-topping artist at the age of 62.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doug Seegers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40702359175217,"sku":"9780718095673","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9780718095673.jpg?v=1780470931","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9780718095673_going-down-to-the-river","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
