Don’s life and childhood faith are shattered by the senseless death of his mother and sister in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. Anger, at times even rage, over this injustice, as well as gnawing faith doubts now consume Don. Seeking rational reassurances for these doubts, and to rebuild his shattered faith Don applies and is accepted to a prestigious liberal seminary in the North-East. This decision, in the wake of the accident and given his working-class Southern Baptist roots, seems misguided, and ill-fated. A series of dramatic, even violent, confrontations nearly resulting in Don’s expulsion, appear to bear this out. Ironically, it is the earthly angels God places in Don’s path, more than any rational insights, that precipitate a transformative faith experience for Don. Inspired by true life experiences and historical events Don’s story may well restore your faith in God’s power to intervene and work miracles in our everyday lives, even amidst Life’s deepest, darkest spiritual valleys.
