Moon\'s candid and inspiring biography, we see how Dallas\'s love of learning took him to Baylor University, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Southern California, where he became a beloved professor and one of the most versatile members of the philosophy department as well as a personal mentor to hundreds of pastors, philosophers, and average churchgoers..
In Gary W.
Though the pews he sat in during his early years didn\'t offer much by way of love and mercy, Dallas, instead of turning away, kept looking for the company of a living, present, and personal God.
Growing up in Depression-era, rural Missouri and educated in a one-room schoolhouse, he knew poverty, deprivation, anxiety, self-doubt, and depression.
His mother died when he was two, and after his father remarried, he was exiled from his stepmother\'s home.
Dallas absorbed some of the harshest and most unfair blows life can land.
But he was not always the man who seemed to live on a different plane of reality than the rest of us.
