"You Might Need Revival If . . ."

"You Might Need Revival If" is an attempt to examine the meaning of Christian revival in a unique way. Believing that God is the Creator of all things, including laughter, the author tries to look at revival from its humorous side; and at the same time, express the need for joy in the heart of every Christian. This joy can only come from knowing the God of all creation, Who loves us and wants to bless us with a happiness that transcends earthly emotions. Using stories, cartoons and jokes, as well as a Bible verse, Psalm 85:6, the author tries to answer the question, "Do you need revival?" Born in Colorado, the author has come to the belief that life is a pilgrimage. He came to know Jesus Christ as Savior in New Mexico. While living in West Texas, he earned his bachelor's degree from Wayland Baptist College. In South Texas, the author accepted his call into the ministry. He then received his M. Div. degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After being ordained into the Gospel ministry Louisiana, the author has pastored churches in Mississippi for several years. The author met and married Ann, his Mississippi Queen. Together they are raising three sons of the South; Joe, Stephen and Jacob; each a rebel with his own cause, and each saved by the grace of God.
