Watch interview with Don, talking about his journey - click here.
He was an active United Presbyterian minister – developing a “street-gang” ministry in Trenton, NJ, followed by pastoring 2 small congregations. He had a visceral spiritual experience during his recovery from alcoholism and came face-to-face with the difference between being religious and being spiritual. Semi-retired, he now lives in Western North Carolina.
I honestly believe when you read the book you will understand my message – the tension between religious beliefs/dogma and the love/peace of spirituality runs through both the Old and the New Testaments.

My book is easily used as a tool for congregational or small group study. It helps build community through honest dialogue about our spiritual questions and experiences. It helps define the difference between religious belief and spirituality.
Explaining the history of the development of Scripture, my book is a study of the tensions in the Bible between developing dogmatic beliefs and experiencing the Spiritual.
