Dr. Wilbert Donald Gough, will be showcased by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. The outdoor book festival will take place on April 20 – 21 at the University of Southern California

“Life Isn’t Fair – But God Is!” is a self-help mental health book that guides its readers on the path to spiritual growth. It focuses on God and how He dealt with His followers; on Jesus, who showed people what God is like and instilled the love of God in followers; and on people the author has known who inspired him throughout his life.

Author Wilbert Donald Gough selects biblical passages to help readers find inspiration and strength to manage their daily lives with a “common sense” and understanding of God’s Word. Each chapter of the book is based on the Scriptures, allowing the readers to go deeper into the Gospel and understand the Word of God.

Author’s Biography

Wilbert Donald Gough was born on June 13, 1918, in Davidson, Oklahoma, to Samuel Emory and Edna Mae Stafford Gough, the first of five children. Surviving diphtheria at age 6, he grew up in Graham, Texas, accepting Jesus into his life at age 12 and was baptized by Edwin B Stafford, his grandfather, a preacher-pastor. After graduating from high school and earning a degree from Draughon’s Business College, he began working as a department store accountant until WWII motivated him to serve his country by joining the U.S. Navy. Assigned to the Philadelphia Naval Yard, he met, through the church, Florence I. Arthur in Philadelphia. Their marriage resulted in a lifetime of serving God together.

While living in Philadelphia, Wilbert, employed by TastyKake, and Florence, employed by Coopers & Lybrand, an accounting firm, became baccalaureate graduates of what is now Cairn University. Wilbert continued his pursuit of theology and pastoral knowledge by earning Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Theology from Eastern Baptist Seminary (now Palmer Seminary of Eastern University), Temple University, and Burton Seminary, and an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Eastern.

Ordained by the Philadelphia Baptist Association, he pastored churches in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, West Virginia, New Hampshire, and Maine. He served on the Boards of Alderson-Broaddus College, the American Baptist Churches, and Detroit Baptist Manor (founding member), as well as serving as an Adjunct Professor of Bible at William Tyndale College in Michigan.

Wilbert and Florence had two children, W. Donald Gough, Jr. and Diane Elizabeth Fowler, six grandchildren, and eight greats. Wilbert went to be with his Lord on August 13, 2022, after living a Christ-filled life of 104 years!
