The Weaver's Gentle Hand: A Study of One Life's Tapestry, Nearly Complete

David Gall was born in a small German town in North Dakota, where the rules were as clear and direct as the highways and farmland grids that stretched to the horizon in every direction. The whole world seemed to be designed on a grid, and the grid made choices about who to be and what to do very simple. The grid served David as he entered adulthood and worked his way up the ladder at a major pharmaceutical company. The grid also made faith and church clear and obvious. But there's more to the world than the grid. Time and again, David would succeed according to the rules of whatever game and role he played, only to find himself asking, "Is this all there is?" We must also navigate the topography of the land, and of our hearts. The lakes and mountains of the physical world that force roads to find a different course. The irrational places and the mysterious longings of our hearts that force our life plans and worldviews to find courses we didn't expect. For David, God interrupted the plan with invitations and wrenching moments. An early retirement, 30 years of building partnerships among churches in Romania and the United States, seeing countless lives impacted as David responded to God's invitations, and still found himself asking, "Is this all there is?" This is the story of a successful man looking back at his life from a contented place, making sense of the fact that for all of his efforts and all of his searching, every person and every experience carried the tension of God's weaving hand pulling thread after thread together into a tapestry of life. It's a quiet story from a man who's found a profound peace after all of his striving, whose success has very little to do with his accomplishments, and everything to do with the persistent work of the Weaver's Gentle Hand.
