I met Doug Werth a few years ago when my family and I visited Hong Kong. Doug sent this note after finishing Faith in the Freshman last week.

I hope the weekend went well and that the start of school is energizing and rewarding!
I finished your book this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was amazed to read and learn how God has so effectively used you since we met in 2004. He is masterful!!! As soon as I got to the end, I went to my computer to “google” where Andrew is today. Wow! Cornell!! Very good for him! I am sure God will use him effectively there to His purpose. And hopefully that includes continued success on the basketball court!! He sure excelled last year at Palm Beach State. 105 3-pointers makes my arm tired just reading about them. (I so love basketball!)
My youngest is at Valparaiso. Chelsea has just begun her sophomore year there. Andrew is ahead of her and a year behind my son (senior at Belmont University in Nashville, TN). At parents weekend last year, I attended the introduction of the men’s basketball team. I thought to myself as I read your book, I didn’t remember him on the team. As I read on, I understood why.
Thanks for writing your story! I could relate in so many ways! You caused me to reflect many times on how we need to let God be in control and not us. Then on Sunday our sermon was about Moses’ mother letting God be in complete control as she put him in a basket in the Nile. And we know the rest of that story.
God is definitely speaking to me!!
Thanks for being a conduit!
