CLEP� Financial Accounting

For over 30 years Donald Balla taught college students. For most of those years he taught at John Brown University. JBU is a Christian school, so expect Balla's Christian faith to naturally integrate in his stories. He was a popular teacher. "I am funnier than most," he explains. His unique teaching style shows through in the teaching of Rafael Perez in For Louisa There Is No Lunch At All. He taught business, economics, law and accounting. "That gave me an advantage," says Balla. "If my students spoke up in Bible classes with, 'But Mr. Balla said ...,' generous Bible professors would cut me some slack with, 'Well, he's not a theologian. He's just a lawyer.'" As a lawyer, Balla went through…  More the Bible and wrote out all of God's covenants. "I pretended God sat down across from me and hired me to draw up the contacts," he explained. The result was so startling, he decided to write a book. The theology book became so dreadfully dull, says Balla, that it became a rollicking novel: How George Became Naked. Donald Balla now works full-time fighting for undocumented immigrant rights. He is a partner in Balla and Naylor Law Firm, LLC in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He is associated with a large immigration law firm in Kansas City: McCrummen Immigration Law Group, LLC. Besides lawyering, he researches, writes, speaks and champions the idea that all men are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From this passion comes the novel T*O*A*D, that comic novel about illegal aliens. Says Balla about the book, "The best soup is laughter and tears simmered in a deep plot."  Less
