Synopsis The novel is aimed at those interested in not just football but the human condition. The Lion of Dellwood is a story of resilience and the human spirit. Dellwood, Derry, Defiance, Dennis, and Dementia are five places life leads Donald Richards. Richards is a young boy who spends his formative years as a ward of the state, and the guest of an abusive foster family. He’s a “payday” and an unpaid laborer for the Bono family. The system labels the orphan a five, a broken boy they describe as physically inept, mentally impaired, and intellectually behind. He believes the message and the reality he observes: he’s damaged. The number five is his curse but also his blessing. Throughout his life the five appears as a symbolic reminder he’s both broken and exceptional. He finds solace in books and in sports. Reading takes him places he’s never been. He discovers a score of fascinating people and endless possibilities. Sports are his chocolate; he can’t imagine his life without them. When he’s immersed in a book or playing on an athletic field, he feels like a ten—like anything is possible. The outward criticism drives Donald to make something of himself. He spends his life pursuing a game that would eventually kill him. Football is his focus, beacon of hope, and plan for a better life. Magically, things start to align in his troubled universe. His escape from Dellwood, Missouri manifests in the form of a comic book, a park, a letter, a fire, then a gym, a failed physical exam, a scholarship, and an opportunity to play professional football. With a boost from a devil named Kapp, he becomes a fixture with the Pennsylvania Lions of the Professional Football League. He thrives but continues to struggle off the field. Richards’ turbulent childhood taught him that people can’t be trusted, and that his time is better spent pursuing his passion instead of relationships. He constructs walls at an early age to keep people out but they also isolate him from the rest of the world. Love finds Richards at the worst possible time. He won’t trust it, so he deflects it to pursue his goal—football. A decade later Richards stumbles into an unwanted marriage and an unplanned family. As his long and uneventful career grinds to an end he’s conflicted and wonders if he’d missed the mark. Does he need the one thing he purposely pushed away—love? He concludes his life is imperfectly perfect. He found his place on a football field, and for now, that’s enough as he navigates this uncharted journey called life.
Is your life limited by labels the world and other people have used to define you? Labels you have internalized and apply to yourself every day. Labels like Afraid. Or Addict. Orphan. Damaged Goods. Failure. Maybe even Religious. These labels might be sewn into your life with such tight little stitches that they feel like a part of you. They feel like they define you. But that’s a lie. If you let Him, Jesus can remove those old labels and tattoo new ones onto your soul. Then you’ll begin to see yourself as God the Father sees you. The limits will be lifted, and your life will be transformed. It’s the truth.

Character is doing what is right when no one else is looking. Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. Never put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Quantity is what you count; quality is what you count on. Very few burdens are heavy if everyone lifts. These are just a few of the quotations that I have included in this book. It is a culmination of over four decades of gathering quotes and sayings, noticing church and marquee signs and bumper stickers and, most recently, researching on the Internet. In the preface for this book, I went through and listed quotes that meant a lot to me, but as I look back, I realize that they all mean something to me. I hope that you can use them for motivation, reflection, and inspiration.
Throughout the years, author Pastor Nsumba Hilary Roberts has learned that Christians experience struggles not to fix them, but rather, God allows us to go through some struggles so they fix us. This realization helped him wrestle with hope and seek to glean some lessons from the mess when faced with a difficult situation. In Seasons: This Too Shall Pass, Roberts offers a look at real-life experiences, creating a realistic check for us to realize that every situation life throws at us isn’t permanent; it will pass, good or bad. It comes to an end. So, whether a person is going through a great life or, going through a rugged tough time, they both come to an end. Whether a true follower of the Lord or not, you can rest assured if you don’t give up, all sickness, struggling relationships, bareness, and failing business have a chance to be restored. Seasons inspires faith and encourages you to keep hope alive, be resilient, and focus on the one who can make things work for his good. It communicates that this season shall pass, Kijja Kuggwa.
I believe one of the most useful Aid you can provide for Africa and Africans is the introduction of free basic education. This type of education has to be about the Importance of life and also the importance of having Empathy for others. Brotherhood and sisterhood should be a great symbol of Unity among the poor and the disadvantaged. Most People do stupid things out there thinking what they are doing is right, this is mainly due to lack of common sense mainly. What looks easy and simple to some people can be very difficult to others. Education is a cure for poor people's suffering and can help open the eyes of all those disadvantaged innocent people. We need intelligent politicians and Ministers who can come up with better solutions on how to rebuild our Motherland. More often than not, most selected African Leaders and politicians end up being Sellouts taking bribes in order to fill their pockets. If people receive genuine guidance on how to build better roads and other means of transport communication methods, they can surely do anything because anything is possible if you put your mind to it. It hurts me the most when I hear people saying we can't do it and others discouraging them but guess what, yes they can and yes we all can! Everyone is Created by God equally just like Lions and other animals in the jungle.
