Glenn Wilson believed from the time he was young that he was
destined to be a pro athlete. His journey from lightly recruited
high school student athlete to first round draft pick of the
Detroit Tigers in 1980 was the script that many only dream about
becoming reality. Glenn achieved his goal, playing ten seasons in
Major League Baseball, including making the National League
All-Star team in 1985. Injuries and disappointment shortened
Glenn's career, and when investments soured causing business
ventures to fail, he found himself living in pain and misery. In
that pain, he went in search of fulfillment and on that journey
Glenn came to know what it meant to truly have a relationship with
God. Headed Home takes you on this journey from childhood to
athlete to a broken man finding the hope of knowing Jesus Christ.
When Glenn experienced the grace of Christ, his life would never be
the same. This book brings us the hope that God has a plan for all
of us and that he longs to change our lives. "Headed Home is a
tumultuous ride through the world of Major League Baseball. Glenn
Wilson was an All Star, but he didn't really find his personal home
plate until long after his last at bat. Glenn was always a funny,
life-of-the-party type guy, but this book is more likely to produce
the sweet sorrow of a tear." Larry Dierker Former player and
manager Houston Astros "Glenn Wilson has bared his soul for all to
read in Headed Home. His life as a baseball player has been well
known, especially in the Houston area. But he has been willing to
open up about his life off the field as well, giving us perspective
on how many changes a person can undergo with God's guidance. From
his relationships with his older brother, Johnie Jr., to his
experiences with his coaches and managers, Glenn's honesty shines
through. He leaves a powerful message for all to take from this
book." Bill Brown Announcer of Houston Astros Member of the Texas
Sports Hall of Fame
Derek Haley is a normal seventeen year old senior at Harrison High
School. Everyone sees him as a funny, outgoing, and confident
student, but few people know some of the daily battles he faces
when he is alone. No One Really Knows allows you to take a look
inside the life of a high school student who has experienced the
pains of failed relationships, the struggle of loss and addiction,
and watch as he begins the journey toward redemption in Christ.
Even when you feel like no one knows what you are facing, God knows
and understands and He is waiting to help you walk the road of
redemption and healing. -------------- "Leave it to Darrell Halk to
capture the lives of real teenagers as they experience life and
faith. Darrell has been in the trenches with teens for years
walking with them through the trials, triumphs and tragedies of
navigating a life of faith in Jesus Christ. No One Really Knows
captures his insights along the way and offers real hope." - Mark
Matlock, President, Wisdom Works Ministries & Vice President,
Event Content at Youth Specialties -------------- "Darrell Halk has
a remarkable testimony that every person should hear. He writes a
heart warming story to share this testimony that will make you
think of the roads available to you and your children. He
eloquently describes his real life experiences without losing the
reader in language that even most young people can understand. A
must read if your trying to understand how life can deal us a
difficult hand and how we can endure it." - Glenn Wilson, Former
Major League Baseball Player -------------- A great story of
relationships, running, and redemption. Like Darrell's story, it
took all of these things in my life and in my story to see the
goodness and glory of Jesus. This story is a great read for any
person who is searching, growing and seeking... it's honest and
raw, hopeful and real. I left this story with a bittersweet
reminder of my high school days and the people and situations God
used in my life to bring me to the point of surrender." - John
Sherrill, Traveling Worship Leader, www.johnsherrill.com
-------------- "Darrell Halk deals head on with many of the
challenges that teenagers face today. Challenges that Christian
students are not immune from. A story that all of us can relate to
that have struggled with giving God complete control." - Andy
Morris, Executive Director, Mission Serve, www.mission-serve.com
