Messer has spent a lifetime asking what it means to make a difference.\n\nIn this candid memoir, Messer traces an unlikely journey from his prairie roots through formative travel in Asia and India, ministry and the civil rights era, and leadership as president of Dakota Wesleyan University and The Iliff School of Theology. Along the way, he reflects openly on family, faith, achievement, disappointment, change, and the relationships that shaped his life.\n\nHis later work became increasingly global, including the founding of the Center for Health and Hope and decades of advocacy addressing HIV and AIDS, poverty, stigma, discrimination, and human dignity. Throughout the book, Messer's commitment to justice, reconciliation, inclusion, education, and compassionate service remains at the center.\n\nMaking a Difference: From Prairie Roots to Global Outreach is a story of faith, courage, adventure, and purpose—and an invitation to consider how each of us can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0HFBFMP5N\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0HFBFMP5N.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Messer, Donald E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
