Small Beginnings by Dennis R McLeod

New memoir shares 70 years of author’s life

Author Dennis R. McLeod overcame feelings of rejection to become person wanted by many

Author Dennis R. McLeod shares his lifetime journey from being a 15-year-old stepping out in life feeling the world was against him, to becoming someone who is wanted by many people, in his new memoir, “Small Beginnings”.

“Great things can come from small beginnings,” McLeod says. “They happened to me, and they can happen to you, too.”

Due to suffering verbal abuse as a child and being told he would never amount to anything, plus a marriage and divorce at age 33, McLeod suffered very badly from rejection. Even though he achieved much, the feeling of rejection remained. “Small Beginnings” is the story of the journey that started when – unbeknownst to him – God took him as a 15-year-old and started training and equipping him for the future.

“Many young and not so young people are lost, walking down a blank road,” McLeod says. “I believe this book will encourage all people, no matter their age, that there is a beautiful world out there. All they need to do is allow God to open their eyes to see His beauty and everything else will fall into place.”

‘This is a story of one man’s journey through life. His impatience to grow up and experience the excitement of independence – only to find that life did not hold for him the expected thrills it might but rather he felt restrained and protected by something that kept him away from many temptations. As time went by, he felt he was being led on a pathway that was preparing him for something bigger and better. A very personal and honest account and the revelation of God’s wonderful plan and provision through life’s challenges and uncertainties’. Alison Morgan Auckland New Zealand
