Bill C. Dotson spent fifty years in the real estate industry. In 1986 God called him and eleven other men to start Dallas Real Estate Ministries, serving as Founder Emeritus. He has spent forty-eight years teaching in prisons, juvenile detention centers and men’s homeless shelters. Bill is currently the Founder/President of Abiding Fathers. This was born out of the burden on his heart that the number one issue in America today is the absentee father. He has written and published five books and authors Life Today, a weekly online message and a weekly devotional. Bill lives in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Joanne, of 61 years. They have two daughters, five grandchildren (one married), and one great granddaughter.
