The Spiritual Journey of a Recovering Baptist

As a minister, Doug Manning shared encounters and lessons from scripture with his congregation. As an author of over 50 books on grief, elder care, and life transitions as well as a world-renowned public speaker, he shared stories from others who were walking difficult paths. Now, at the age of 91, Doug is sharing his own story.

In "The Spiritual Journey of a Recovering Baptist," he takes a thoughtful, reflective look at how all the mountains, valleys, twists, and turns brought him to a place of acceptance and peace with his place in the world. Doug offers grace for difficult times and gratitude for unexpected course changes. His hope with this memoir is to encourage others to embrace life's challenges and opportunities, and understand that it is all part of the journey.

If you are looking for a profound theological treatise you won’t find it here; if you are looking for down-to-earth wisdom—you WILL find it here! Doug Manning’s pastoral journey is rooted in the common life of a pastor who cherishes the relationship with God’s people to such a degree that he actually listens, carefully, to them. Here you will find uncommon wisdom of a true pastor in his journey to follow Jesus rather than following what others say who Jesus is.

—Kevin Adams, Chaplain, Colonel, USAF (retired)
