Doug Walker, our senior pastor at Fellowship of the Parks, wrote this book which is the story of his journey in facing the challenges of feeling rejected and unaccepted. Doug was given up by his birth mother and adopted. While the fact that he was adopted led to its own set of issues, he also struggled with what he felt like was a lack of unconditional love from his adoptive mother. This all resulted in years of having his self worth tied to performance.
Doug’s story is compelling and each person who reads this book will find themselves somewhere in the story. In the end, discovering the richness of being loved unconditionally by God helped Doug reconcile the pain of the past.
This book is an easy read. Anyone can benefit from reading it but those touched by adoption in any way will find it most helpful.
