Robert Flaherty, the son of an Assemblies of God pastor, struggled in grade school and then graduated valedictorian of his high school class, earned three graduate degrees and had a ministerial career as an elder in the United Methodist Church, which he describes as Beyond My Wildest Expectation. In this book, he shares some of his experience as teacher, pastor, army chaplain, and district superintendent. His career took him to places around the world, introduced him to interesting people, and provided opportunities that he never expected.
