Dumb Luck or Divine Guidance: My 31 Years with the Council of Churches of the Ozarks Dorsey E. Levell

In a folksy, easy-to-read style and a deeply personal account, Dorsey Levell recalls his 31 years as executive director of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks, Springfield, Missouri. He takes readers through his failures and successes: From his early and tentative days when he was ready to quit because there was no office, no staff and no budget, to an annual budget of 12 million dollars, 120 paid staff, more than 1,000 volunteers, and 15 human services agencies. Dorsey speaks candidly of the reasons for his divorce after 42 years of marriage, being diagnosed with degenerative arthritis, battling prostate cancer, undergoing five-way heart bypass surgery, his nearly three decades as a chaplain in the U.S. Army Reserve, and his love for the outdoors, especially fishing. Under his leadership, Council of Churches of the Ozarks was recognized throughout the United States as a model of effective outreach ministries. All royalties go to benefit children, families, and disabled persons served by the Council of Churches of the Ozarks.
