This book is about some folks in the Bible you probably have read or heard about. But instead of the dusty, dry, old characters that we tend to think of them as, I hope I have fashioned something that will entertain as well as inform. These chapters are more than a thumbnail sketch, but not necessarily in-depth studies. If you’re a Bible scholar, you may read a chapter and refresh your memory. If you’re an average churchgoer, you may find a few new, interesting facts you missed the last time his or her name came up. And if you’re a complete novice, then dig in because you have some fun stuff to catch up on. These guys were human and saintly and weak and strong and good and evil and right and wrong and every other set of opposites you can think of. These were real people and their stories never get old.
If you’re a parent, share the stories with your kids. If you’re a grandparent, share them with your kids’ kids. If you’re a Sunday school teacher, share them with your class. And if you’re a preacher, then God bless you. Dinner is at one and we’re having fried chicken.
लेखक के बारे में
Don is one of the original members of the Statler Brothers, the most award-winning act in the history of country music. He and his brother and two friends began singing in their hometown of Staunton, Virginia when Don was only 14 years old. Working all over their home and neighboring states as a part-time group, they were discovered in 1964 by Johnny Cash and given their first record contract. By the time Don was 20 years old, the Statlers had their first major, world-wide hit record with “Flowers On The Wall” which started a string of hits that generated a career in the music industry that lasted four decades, awarded them multiple Grammies and over 20 gold and platinum albums. It wasn’t until the Statler Brothers decided to retire from traveling in 2002 that Don pursued his writing career to another level. Having songwriting and scriptwriting under his belt, the next obvious step was to write a book. And that book was the scripture-based Heroes and Outlaws of the Bible published in June of 2002 by New Leaf Press. Don’s second book, Sunday Morning Memories, is very his first literary adventure. It’s a book of virtual memories of a boy growing up in a southern Protestant church. It’s humorous and nostalgic as it takes a warm and funny look at all the church activities we grew up with. New hymnbooks and the agitation they cause. “C & E Christians” and how they only fill the pews on holidays. Vacation Bible school. Sunday movies and church softball games. Don is the father of two sons. Debo and his wife, Julie, and daughter, Sela Mae, live within a stone’s throw. You may have seen Debo’s name on many songs written with Don on albums over the years.
