The redemption of Dallas’s story is so beautiful. The little boy who lost his mother before the age of three, the man who went on to become one of the most brilliant voices for Christianity in the twentieth century, discovered at the end of his life his most important lesson—salvation is a new attachment, the soul’s loving bond to our loving God. We’ve all heard a good bit about our heavenly Father, but in human development mother comes before father, and a new world of love opens to us when we discover that God offers to mother us too—to come and heal our souls here, in this essential place.
