A story worth reading
I first read about Gordon Weekley in the Book Section of an issue of Reader's Digest in the early 1990s. I was fascinated by his story because I too was a minister in a Southern Baptist Church with a young family in North Carolina. His honest story of desiring to do the right thing with his life and balancing the pressures of church and family struck a chord with me, and I held onto the issue for several years.
Little did I know that while building our house in NC the kind older gentleman who stopped by to chat with us and lived up the hill in our neighborhood would be the very same Gordon Weekley I have read about years earlier. By the time I figured out who he was, he had died unexpectedly a month after we moved into our home.
In the end his struggles with addiction were the cause of his death. I would like to see Don Jeffries follow up his book somehow with the conclusion of Rev. Weekley's life. While his life may be viewed as a tragic story of unmet potential sidelined by substance abuse, it is also a story of one who continued to seek healing, forgiveness, and worth by helping others.
I would have loved the opportunity to have gotten to know Rev. Weekley better before his death, and this book has afforded me that opportunity in an indirect way. I would recommend this book not only to ministers, but to anyone who seeks to understand the struggles of addiction on a deeper level.
