Publisher's Synopsis
Few of us will ever know the depths of despair and punishment that a drug and alcohol-crazed life earned Rusty, the principal character of Deep Runs the River. But while living out the consequences, he experiences the power to succeed morally and spiritually. Believing that he had wronged others, he is driven to make amends and earn forgiveness, reconciliation, and friendship. Along the way, he discovers the truth, reaches his goals, and finds true love.
Robert and his wife, Evelyn, live on a few acres in rural North Louisiana. Their sixty-four years of marriage have been blessed with four children and their families.
Through the years, he has earned a B.A. with a major in religion from Louisiana [Baptist] College, an M.A. in English from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, a Master of Divinity, and a Doctor of Ministry from Luther Rice Seminary. In addition, he has done further studies at Louisiana State University.
For most of his adult life, Holloway has been a pastor of Baptist churches, and until his retirement, he also taught for twenty-three of those years in the English Department of the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He continues to serve as pastor of the Watson Baptist Church of West Monroe, Louisiana.
