The Storyteller's Son: A Memoir of Loss and Hope in the Storm
A storyteller, upon realizing his life is short, begins to prepare his seven-year-old son Wesley for a dark, fatherless future. Using Bible stories, he tries to convince his son to be a lifetime follower of the God who loves him and longs to be his earthly father's replacement. But when his father passes away, Wesley is filled with bitterness. Like the old tree behind his family home, he is pelted by the storms of life and can only brace himself against the wind. As Wesley embarks on a journey away from the God he believes is responsible for his dad's death, he turns to petty crime and a path marked by bad choices until ultimately a collision course with a "God Encounter" changes his world.
In his memoir, The Storyteller's Son, Wesley Allan Dueck becomes a storyteller himself by skillfully recounting his stories of his journey's twisted path - first away from and then towards - his God and religion. Sometimes truth makes a better story than fiction, so buckle up, grab a box of tissues, and prepare for a roller-coaster ride that ends in salvation.
