Glimpses of an Abundant Life

Frank Donaldson. Birmingham, Ala.: Frank W. Donaldson, 2011. 314 pp. (Paperback).

Frank Donaldson has lived an interesting life, chronicled in this autobiography. Published when the author was 90, the book is evidence of a full — abundant — life and a keen memory.

While the book will certainly be of great interest to those who have known the author through the years, it is likely to hold the attention of many who are not familiar with the author. A great deal of history is included, as experienced by Donaldson as he served as a U.S. Army Air Forces pilot, an FBI agent, a law school professor at Samford for 43 years and a U.S. Attorney.

Donaldson is a member of Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Birmingham.
