“Don Underwood simply has the gift of communication important messages in powerful and simple ways. Heis ability to find deep meaning in the everyday experiences of life is truly inspiring, and I often forward his weekly columns to family and friends.

"Don’s book is a 'must read.' His stories, experiences, and events bring to light the fact that we all need more of 'The Long View' in our lives. Don lives what he writes, and his feet are on the ground spiritually. I am so happy to have him for a friend. At each of our meetings I greet him with respect, admiration, and affection. Read his book!"
--Jack Brainard, renowned western horse trainer and author
“Don Underwood, who has served as senior pastor of Christ United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas, for 26 years, is a master preacher and storyteller. In The Long View, he offers a rich feast of vignettes, scenes, and stories from his years of hyper-attentiveness to what God is doing in his own inner life, in the lives of his congregation, and in the often overlooked particulars of daily life. A modern-day preacher-sage, he scans the landscape of nature and human relationships and the inner regions of the human heart looking for traces of the hand of God. He explores what God is seeking to say to us through, for example, mesquite trees, dry spells, first days of school, road trips with four-year-old grandchildren, a veterinarian’s reverence for the gift of animals, a father’s love, traffic cops, and wild dogs. This book will spark the imaginations of fellow preachers and fire the faith of fellow pilgrims on the path of life who, as Don reminds us, are always walking, driving, standing, and riding on holy ground.”
