Thank God I Was A Country Boy
Author: Howard C. Shreckengost
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
Thank God I Was a Country Boy is a praise to the Lord. He set me free. Without Him, I am nothing. I have written these lines to ultimately say I was a normal child. I was capable of being swayed to sin. I was also taught the proper life to live. My family influenced as best they could, but it was their trusting us that became our bond. They had to trust God to watch over us and trust that saying we followed God was really what we desired to do. They wished for us to walk with God daily. I am thankful for the hard times and the trials. This is not a fiery sermon about how you must change. It is a reminder to be thankful for aEURoeFrom whence cometh your help?aEUR (old Bible translation). Thankful for growing up. Thankful for all I had.

Jesus Was a Country Boy
Author: Clay Walker
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451682875
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Popular country music superstar Clay Walker talks about Jesus and the simple, grassroots faith that He inspired. Clay Walker's hit single “Jesus Was a Country Boy” resonated with people fed up with slick preachers driving luxury cars and church sanctuaries as big as football fields. That’s not what Jesus was all about. Like the country boy next door, Jesus modeled a grassroots faith. He was born in a barn and fished for his dinner. He hung out with lowlifes and sinners. He came not for the rich and powerful, but for the good old boys and country gals. Drawing from his own humble beginnings, Clay explores the ways Jesus spoke to good old-fashioned country folk: Jesus knew where he came from and he knew where he was going. He knew how to treat people, but he wasn’t afraid of a fight. He knew how to have a good time, and he loved to surprise people. And, like any good country boy, he knew about heartbreak. Ultimately, Jesus came to love and show that knowing His father is as free and easy as a summer breeze on a front-porch swing. If you want to find God, then it’s time to lose religion and meet a country boy from Bethlehem.

The Life of a Country Boy
Author: Janet W. Adkins
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462840167
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
Thornton W. Chaney is a compelling story-teller. Although he has lived his eighty-four years within a one mile area, he has many adventures to relate. When he entered the Navy in WWII, he had been a sheltered farm boy. His Christian upbringing definitely influenced his life as he sailed the seven seas and was introduced to the ways of the world. The Life of a Country Boy is a compilation of adventures and escapades while in the Navy, but the greater part is devoted to Store Experiences. In 1988, he retired after forty years of running a country store. Chaneys Store was located in the Virginia community of Mountain Hill where, if you care to, you can step right into North Carolina. Farmers bought all their groceries, gas, and farm supplies there and then gathered around the pot-bellied stove on winter days weaving talestrue or not true. The Life of a Country Boy is the gathering of stories, some funny, some serious, some full of irony, that are the autobiography of my uncle Thornton as told to me, Janet W. Adkins. I have tried to tell these stories as nearly as possible in his own words, southern colloquialisms ringing through. His daughter-in-law said she could just hear him talking while she was reading it. When people in the stories are in negative situations, their names have been changed. But the real names of others are used as a means of honoring them.
