Who is Donald Wesson? He is just Rosie and Ernest Wesson's middle son, whose life was shattered when he lost his life long dream to play Major League Baseball, and found himself running from God to live a life of drug dealing and drug use.      He realized that he could not outrun God nor could he hide from Him.  He now serves God and has a heart to reach those he left out in the streets using and dealing drugs.     "I have served as pastor for over sixteen years. During this time I opened and coordinated a men's transition home. Over 69 men received a leg up during the five years the men's transition home was in operation."    If there could be one way to describe Donald Wesson it would be this way: He is a man who used what he had, to do what he could, while he could.     "I have used Luke 10:33-37, the story of the Good Samaritan, to be my driving force for reaching the lives of many for Christ."

Poetry

Poetic expression has a way of recasting language that we might see the familiar anew, might recognize by refining intuition what is true, and what is life. It reveals, here by veiling, there by bold naming; poetry heightens our speech to art and so, by intensifying language, awakens recognition and seeking, insight and wonder. The flight home- home to our authentic self, home to the One who has called us to full life- can be lived and noted in different ways. In Notes on a Flight Home, poetry marks seeing, living, longing, loving and being loved.

Look at the injustice, pain, and suffering in the world. Do you wonder how a loving God could condone or tolerate any of this? With all our travail and travesties it is troubling to reconcile a belief that God is good with so much that is bad. What If God Is Like This? candidly addresses the difficult questions. The book provides a unique look at Christianity and God’s interaction with humanity. It challenges some of the traditional perspectives provided by religion and draws out strong evidence that God’s greatest desire for mankind is freedom, not obedience. It examines the crucifixion of Christ from God’s perspective and shows how this event remains eternally impactful on God as a Being, pushing Him to His very limits as an omnipotent creature. Who is this Personality in the sky and why can’t the world agree about Him? What If God Is Like This? is written for those who question and who yearn to stretch the boundaries of traditional thought, belief, and practice. This is a book about freedom: freedom to think, freedom to love, and freedom to ask the big “What If?” Join the quest to meet the God you’ve never known.
