My book could be called comical. It may be controversial. The story line is remembrances beginning in 1948 in my church. The very first time I went to church they were having 'preacher calling' business. I remember vividly the actions and reactions of that meeting weren't pleasant to my young ears. The book comes from memories of mine and the so-called gossip concerning people in church covering most of Georgia. I have had the honor of singing in hundreds of churches and having the opportunity to listening to members in these churches and their local happenings. The names of writing are fictious and have no resemblance to any one person or family. The local church is a hot bed of information. The story lines have been passed on to me through word of mouth. I have picked notes from the so call television evangelist. You read my book and take it as an art form of southern literature and culture of the bible belt.Some of the hilarious things in my life was the incident of the Deacon tossing the songbook at the preacher. Another that caught my ear was the Deacon made operational a liquor still in his hog barn. There are many, many tales brought forth to enlighten you the reader!
