I grew up on a small farm in East Tennessee with my three older brothers. Our father was a preacher and our mother was a teacher. Now I know it sounds like something out of a song, but that was life. Every Wednesday night and all day Sunday I was at church listening to Dad preach. I was taught from a young age the importance of faith and trust in Christ. Dad always made it clear that it was the most important thing in life. We were not rich and may have not always had what we wanted, but we always had food in our bellies and clothes on our backs.
In grade school I began to play football. Unlike my brothers, I was never what you would call a top notch athlete. However, I still enjoyed the game.

In grade school I began to play football. Unlike my brothers, I was never what you would call a top notch athlete. However, I still enjoyed the game. Just because I had practice and school work never excused me from my chores on Dad’s farm. He always made it clear that football was a choice, but good grades and chores were not. It was one of the things that taught us that just because you have things you want to do, there is still many things that need to be done.
Once I got to high school I met the love of my life, Crystal. I did not know it then, but she would one day become my wife. We would date throughout our freshman year but I was immature then and it never worked out. I was a loud, outgoing, goof off and she was quiet and shy. I thought after we broke up it was over for good. I thought wrong.
Once I graduated high school I joined the Tennessee Army National Guard and went off to Fort Knox Kentucky for basic training. I thought I had gotten away from my dad’s preaching, but his sermons rang in my ears. One night I realized I needed God in my life and finally surrendered to Him. After that I would spend my downtime reading and studying the Bible.
A week after I graduated I received an email from Crystal. All it said was, “Hey, how have you been?”
We exchanged numbers and that night we talked on the phone the entire night. We had both matured and wanted to find someone who we could settle down with. I instantly began falling for her. Two months later I proposed and then a year later we got married. Now I am a preacher, married to love of my life, and have two amazing kids. ...more

Psalms 77:11-13

11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

Andrew Golden answered S. Daisy's question: When can we expect to see the next book from you? :-) It's funny you should ask; I am currently working on my second book. I hope to be finished with it by the end of the year.

“You see most people don’t believe that miracles still exist. They believe those things ended with the disciples. I will gladly tell them our story and let them see that God is still working. Through all of my struggle and pain I want people to know that when we look at the storm of life and become afraid, God is there protecting us from the winds and lighting.”

Willing To Review Christian Group — 625 members — last activity Jul 03, 2024 06:51AM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
