“Right now our culture is melting down. We’re angry, opinionated, and polarized with no chance of compromise in sight.” These are the words of David Gipson from his new book, The Seven Surprises: Everyday Epiphanies for Being a Better Human Being. David comes from a varied and interesting background. He and his wife Dawn believe in saying yes to God—no matter what. Now raising their fourth and fifth adopted children, they are living their lives with arms wide open.
