Synopsis "The Dancing Preacher: An Autobiography"
The magic of dance has been an important part of Gil Hill's entire life. Through deep love and deep loss, a spin on the dance floor has always served as the best way to celebrate as well as the best remedy for an aching heart. Not only did Hill's parents fall in love on the dance floor, but so did Gil and his love and first wife, Melva. When she passed, Gil found comfort on the dance floor where he first captured the heart of his wife, Nancy. Since the day she offered to repair his dance shoes bag, the two have been happily dancing the night away. Throughout this heart-warming story, Hill shares much more than life as a dancer and preacher; he was a yeoman in the navy, a teacher, coach, husband, salesman, father, and friend who grew in faith to find his true calling as a pastor. His story shows how faith helps one endure life's struggles and tragedies. It is also a testament to letting God direct your life because He will always put you where you are meant to be, which may just be jitterbugging on a cruise ship as a dance host. In The Dancing Preacher, Gil nimbly illustrates how following your passions and staying active helps you maintain your health, spiritually, physically and mentally. His story exemplifies a life well lived-full of love, faith, adventure, new beginnings, and happiness.
