R. Donald Shafer knows life is a story and that all of our
stories are different. This memoir spans seven decades of his life
as a son, brother, friend, husband, father, pastor, bishop, church
administrator, and grandfather. Shafer chronologically and
topically narrates his unique journey with the hope that his
stories will encourage others to look up, laugh, love, and
ultimately lift their spirits to accept all that life has to
offer.
Shafer begins with his birth in a little Pennsylvania village
where he tells of peaceful times growing up near his grandparents.
With four siblings, caring parents, an affirming pastor, and
fascinating neighbors, life is exciting. During his adolescence
Shafer decides to follow Jesus, a decision that changes his life
forever. Working at mowing lawns, delivering newspapers, dancing at
the high school prom, and a few car accidents are escapades of his
youth. Shafer details his college life and love stories of meeting
his future wife. Beyond his expectations, he becomes an ordained
pastor, church leader, bishop, and even a public relations man.
Contemporary church planting on a shoestring and relational caring
for pastors marked this church administrator's career.
"Laugh, Love, and Lift" shares one man's uplifting journey
through life as he discovers the importance of loving
relationships, unyielding faith, and hope for the future.
