In his earlier years he wanted to be a minister, and felt particularly blessed to discover later that he could do both in a classroom. When his students began to include adults, and his Christian faith became strengthened and deepened by the conviction that faith was nourished by faithful living, he knew that he wanted to share his faith-feelings with others. This book is an attempt to do just that.
Desmond lives in Toronto with Dolly, his wife of 54 years, and sets a high priority on keeping in close touch with his siblings, his grand-children, his great-grand children, and his many treasured friends around the world. He loves singing and playing chess, using both in ways that foster and enrich his relationships with others.показать меньше
