Duck Butts: Seasons with God John P. Van Dusen

John was once described by a friend as a man who looked like he had a party going on in his head all the time. In Duck Butts: Seasons With God he invites you to that party. In this, his first collection of writings, he shares his somewhat askew humor with short essays like If I Were the Pope. He takes us on an imaginative flight in Astronaut, and then brings us soberly back home with Walking For Groceries. Within these pages you'll also find experiments in poetry and a few song lyrics, some of which have forgotten melodies and have come to stand as statements that punctuate a journey of faith and grace. This book can be read straight through but also allows the reader to go slow and experience the change of seasons. John's voice can be irreverent, silly, and painfully honest but always returns to grace--as all seasons with God do.
