I might be missing something, but the God that I am discovering is changing my life. I doubt that I will ever be into the moaning and crying. I know His first name is not Ohhhh. At any rate, now I have hope that I am accepted into His family.Glenn Berry knows what it's like to struggle with questions of faith. As a young boy growing up in the countryside hills of Oklahoma, he couldn't help but think that all the sinning that his preachers, his parents, and his Sunday school teachers were talking about sounded like a lot more fun than being an honest, pious Christian. When he became a young adult, this suspicion was proven to be true.Darn It! Maybe I Missed Somethingis the true story of a redneck's path to a life of Christian faith. Berry asks the questions of sin, faith, and forgiveness that the 'proper' theologians shy away from. Along the way, he'll address the doubts, the fears, and the joy of a rebel's coming-to-terms with Jesus.
