We hear names thrown around church buildings like N.B. Hardeman, Foy E. Wallace, G.C. Brewer, and maybe Guy N. Woods. These men had a significant voice in the development of the church. I personally want to highlight some of the preachers, that I might not personally know well, that will have a positive [...]

This is not a devotional book for spiritual hunters. It does not provide meditations for the deer stand. The book deals with the social situation of small town southern living. The book is entertaining in that the author has moved back to his small town in the south. He discusses some [...]

My Nashville Predators are still in drama mode. It seemed like local ownership was going to buy the team for sure. They still plan to. But there is these tax issues to deal with. They want some extra money from the city and some extra promises. There is a ton [...]

There has been a ton of talk concerning Michael Vick and the dog fighting ring that he was supporting. There is also talk that he should never play football again. This is taking the issue a little too far. He certainly should get punished for his crime, do some time or some [...]

Unfortunately, this book will be accepted or rejected based more on the author than the material. In fact, in reading a Shelly book, there is always a fear of someone labeling you because you have read some of his stuff. There are few individuals that can polarize a crowd as the name [...]
