About the author
Don Mance
4 books4 followersDon Mance was born and raised in Albany, New York. He served in the United States Air Force from 1988-1992, in the Netherlands and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan during the end of the Cold War. Shortly after leaving the Air Force in 1992, Don gave his life to Jesus Christ. He has preached in several churches in Upstate New York and has also done a short term mission to the Dominican Republic. A unique set of circumstances immediately following September 11, 2001 thrust him into a role of spiritual leadership at work. It was this experience that compelled him to write God at Work: Sharing Christ on the Job. Don's second book, The Great Exchange, is an overview of the spiritual dynamics that result from a decision to live for Christ. In August 2014, The Great Exchange was translated and published in Dutch as De Grote Uitwisseling. Marching Orders is Don's third book and was released in August 2015. The book explores the parallels between Christian life and military life. Wee Forrest is Don's latest book. It is a loving tribute to his late father. Don's wife, Mandi, is originally from Glasgow, Scotland. They frequently travel there together.

Got Me
I was captured from the first paragraph. I could feel the emotions and true life experiences as the story progressed. I understand the emotional and spiritual growth that took place within both father and son. I love the way God worked in their lives in a slow process. God used His wisdom to help bath father and son to overcome their own additions ,fears and demons in perfect timing. He also led them and helped them to find great fellowship with other Christians. This is a great secret , once you know Jesus as savior, it is most important to get grounded in Christ, through other Christians,Bible study and church. God is good. Great testimonye.
