Itââ?¬â?¢s been a while since I immersed myself in the pages of a Christian memoir, so Gary McDougallââ?¬â?¢s heartfelt and immersive story, ââ?¬Å"Donââ?¬â?¢t Tell Me There Ainââ?¬â?¢t No God,ââ?¬Â? was the first I have read in a few months. I am glad I picked it up. It is a story of resilience, courage, and finding faith in God in our vulnerabilities.
Surviving a devastating hurricane back in Belize and a near crash into the Atlantic Ocean as a young child on his way to Miami, was just the beginning of Gary McDougall narrowly escaping death numerous times. One such instance was when he escaped death by a whisker after a gun misfired when a drug dealer threatened to end his life. With his abusive father abandoning him and their family at the tender age of twelve, Gary lacked a father figure who could teach him how to navigate through life, eventually having to learn everything on his own, often through painful experiences. Out of despair, hopelessness, and frustration, Gary gets to a point where he contemplates suicide. But something unexpected saves him from his morbid thoughts; an experience that leads him to make a complete turnaround of his life and begin a profound journey of faith in Jesus Christ.
A testimony written with passion and verve, ââ?¬Å"Donââ?¬â?¢t Tell Me There Ainââ?¬â?¢t No Godââ?¬Â? by Gary McDougall is not just one manââ?¬â?¢s story of survivorââ?¬â?¢s guilt, but also a life anchor for readers. The book asserts that it is possible to overcome the adversities that life may throw at us through faith in God. The scriptureââ?¬Â¦
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything in all creation will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 NIV)
�forms the basis of Gary�s work as he takes us through the progress he began to make after giving his life to Jesus. He writes with heart and is unflinchingly honest about the innocence and adventures of childhood, often exploring complex but necessary topics such as bullying, racism, rape, and domestic violence. The book goes further in-depth on how he eventually fulfilled the American dream, which is often viewed as an illusion by many immigrants, proving that it is within reach of anyone who strives to attain it.
The text is well-written with graceful prose, and its few pages make it a quick read. Readers looking for inspiration and the hope to carry on, despite their circumstances will find a balmy home in ââ?¬Å"Donââ?¬â?¢t Tell Me There Ainââ?¬â?¢t No Godââ?¬Â? by Gary McDougall. His incisive contemplations about God, religion, and overcoming tribulations make this book a powerful and resonant one. I look forward to more of this authorââ?¬â?¢s works in a similar genre.
