Books with author Darrell Halk

Derek Haley is a normal seventeen year old senior at Harrison High School. Everyone sees him as a funny, outgoing, and confident student, but few people know some of the daily battles he faces when he is alone. No One Really Knows allows you to take a look inside the life of a high school student who has experienced the pains of failed relationships, the struggle of loss and addiction, and watch as he begins the journey toward redemption in Christ. Even when you feel like no one knows what you are facing, God knows and understands and He is waiting to help you walk the road of redemption and healing. "Leave it to Darrell Halk to capture the lives of real teenagers as they experience life and faith. Darrell has been in the trenches with teens for years walking with them through the trials, triumphs and tragedies of navigating a life of faith in Jesus Christ. No One Really Knows captures his insights along the way and offers real hope." - Mark Matlock, President, Wisdom Works Ministries & VP- Event Content at Youth Specialties "Darrell Halk has a remarkable testimony that every person should hear. He writes a heart warming story to share this testimony that will make you think of the roads available to you and your children. He eloquently describes his real life experiences without losing the reader in language that even most young people can understand. A must read if your trying to understand how life can deal us a difficult hand and how we can endure it." - Glenn Wilson, Former Major League Baseball Player"A great story of relationships, running, and redemption. Like Darrell's story, it took all of these things in my life and in my story to see the goodness and glory of Jesus. This story is a great read for any person who is searching, growing and seeking... it's honest and raw, hopeful and real. I left this story with a bittersweet reminder of my high school days and the people and situations God used in my life to bring me to the point of surrender." - John Sherrill, Traveling Worship Leader, johnsherrill.com "Darrell Halk deals head on with many of the challenges that teenagers face today. Challenges that Christian students are not immune from. A story that all of us can relate to that have struggled with giving God complete control." - Andy Morris, Executive Director, Mission Serve, mission-serve.com
