Product Description
by Gerald W. Donaldson (Author)
This is a allegorical story based on Matthew 7:13-14 and chapter 22 with a focus on the terms "many" and "few" used in both passages. These terms are represented by two men raised in Christian homes but with differing personal, career and spiritual choices. Both men are invited to a royal wedding banquet, compelled to attend by the King of Eternity with a promise of a "deserved forever home". Their journeys to this event are chronicled, one traveling the Broad Road and the other, on the Narrow Road. This is somewhat inspired by "Pilgrim's Progress", updated to briefly address current issues from a Christian and non-Christian perspective.
Author Biography
He is a lifelong resident of DeKalb County in NE Indiana and has been a Christian for nearly fifty years, serving at various times, as church elder, Sunday School teacher and small group Bible studies leader. He also led a mission team to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. He survived a near fatal fall at age 19, critically injured with a multiple skull fracture and blood clot on the brain as well as experiencing temporary paralysis and coma. He also survived a near fatal car accident two years later and is a two-time heart attack survivor, once in 2003 and most recently, in 2016, a very severe one in which he could have died. His near death experiences have enabled him to appreciate every day as a gift from God. These experiences have also given him a unique perspective on current social, political, spiritual and cultural issues. He has been blessed with a Christian wife, Mary, and their two sons, Jon and David, and their families, resulting in six grandchildren.
