Product Description
thomas R was born in 1955 in rural west Kentucky and soon afterward found himself living on the family farm established by his grandfather in 1912, the same year the Titanic sank. He grew up with his parents, three sisters and a brother, multitudes of cousins belonging to thirty aunts and uncles, and more extended family than can be named. He graduated from Symsonia High School in 1973 and went on to earn a degree for ministry. After having served in two other ministries for twelve years, he is currently in his twenty-second year as the children and preteen minister of Lone Oak First Baptist Church in Paducah, Kentucky. Every book has a reason for being. This one is the result of his children climbing up next to him on the sofa and saying, “Tell us a story.” Ahh, but not just any story would satisfy. They wanted stories told by their daddy of the adventures he had when he was a little boy growing up on the family farm. Because Daddy was telling these stories about “Daddy,” the collection came to be known as “Daddy Daddy Stories.” “Many an enjoyable hour has been spent remembering and retelling these stories to my children of the rural farm life I lived. I hope you also find them enjoyable. And who knows, you also might remember a story or two of your own to share with your children. It is one connection to you that they will cherish for their entire lives.” |
