Most family trees are pictured as mighty oaks, but Glenn refers to his as a cactus: “There’s branches, but you’re bound to get poked looking around.” It’s easy to see why Glenn — with two moms and three dads — describes his background this way. Glenn hasn’t seen his birth mother since the day he was born. His birth father was a sporadic presence, in and out of rehab recovering from addictions. His adoptive father, an alcoholic, committed suicide when Glenn was twelve. His adoptive mother’s fear of living alone made way for “Psychopath Ben,” Glenn’s controlling stepfather.
Though Glenn’s family didn’t provide him with much hope for the future, everything changed when Glenn, as a teenager, made the decision to follow Christ. God has redefined Glenn’s understanding of “family”— demonstrating His fatherly love through positive examples of husbands and fathers in the Church
Editorial :
I really enjoyed and only wish the book was longer.. That said, I find Faris's book to be quite interesting and wonderfully anecdotal–a gentle introduction to the climate horror that awaits us. Even if you, or someone you know, is just slightly curious about what it would be like to hike the Appalachian Trail or spend time backpacking in the woods, this is a must read! Even if you are an experienced hiker, buy this great book! The funny, true stories about life dealing with all the "characters" that come into Mountain Crossings, Just Passin' Thru leaves you thinking about how you would behave and act in the backcountry. They aren't technically difficult, and they sit within a normal range (the last note of most arrangements is around high C), but I suspect in the years since this was originally published, many trumpet players (really good ones even) have crashed and burned on these arrangements. This is an extremely short "book" which by no means is an "ultimate guide." You will
