    About this ebook

    So let me start off by saying, if “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get.” (From the movie “Forrest Gump”) Some of mine are melted, because my life has not turned out the way I thought or intended it to be. Life has different challenges and obstacles that change us. This book is about some of the highs and lows of my life. The title “Are you Serious” was chosen because I believe that we sometimes take life too seriously. We don’t laugh enough at ourselves because we are too busy laughing at others to take the attention off ourselves. As you read each chapter you will see that my life has not always been easy. I had to endure some things because it comes from within. The upbringing of my Grandparent’s faith helped to sustain me while the fantastic four saved my life. I look back at some of the things I did and I have to ask myself, “are you serious right now?”

    AJ Freeman

    Born in Medina, NY and raised in Springfield, Ohio, AJ Freeman grew up as a part of a large Christian family where there were always numerous stories and antidotes going around from numerous family gatherings. There were often gatherings that would lead to the entire room laughing to tears. It was here that Bishop Freeman learned that there is laughter and fun in being a Christian. AJ Freeman was always an animated child and liked performing in front of an audiences. In high school, he was acknowledged for his talents and received a scholarship to Central State University in Music Education and Performance. After his studies ended, he began to work in the theater where he starred and acted in a few plays. Pastor Freeman released a music CD in 2010 and began working on a second CD soon after. He felt the desire to focus on his ministry and was then elevated to the office of Bishop in 2017. Bishop Freeman is a man of vision, desire, and dreams. He felt a need to write this book to let others know of the legacy of his grandparents and their faith. He hopes that sharing his their stories of love, laughter, and hope with the world will allow others to know that laughter and faith can truly coexist. He has 3 grown sons, Anthony Jr., Tyler, and Travis Freeman, and he loves The Lord Jesus with all of his heart.
