"I want you all to know that I could never tell you the joy I had in putting Donisms together. We are all so much alike. Think about it. I want to thank all of you for helping make Donisms a real 'ism' in your everyday lives. It took me six years to put Donisms together, and I want to thank everyone that I know. I dedicate this book to you." - Don Tinsley

I am Donald Roberts. My book is an introspective and spiritual look into my life meant to engage and entertain the readers while encouraging them to do the same with their lives. The book is meant to stimulate the mind and spirit, not only with words but in a visual aspect. Our whole lives we've been told that if we look directly into the sunlight, it'll damage our eyes. But I promise you that if you Stare Into the Son, your vision will be clearer than it's ever been before.
