McClure. I was born shortly after World War II on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1948.
I was given the title of Reverend in the summer of 1973 soon after God had called me to preach. I attended The American Theological Seminary School of Nashville Tennessee and completed my study in four years.
I joined the U.S. Army at the age of seventeen, with parental consent. I was honorably discharged on July 10, 1969. After a long break, I reenlisted in 1978. I finally retired from active duty in July of 1995.
I attended college and received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I also have a Master Degree in Biblical Studies, Divinity and I recently received a Doctorate Degree in Ministry.
I began writing this book shortly before I retired from the Army. This book was written from many of the ideas and stories that my grandpa had shared with me about slavery. As you read this book try to read it slowly and let your imagination drift into every chapter and episode.view less
