Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Neil Sorrells and I am a Christian storyteller. I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, with my Sunday school class, in 1950. Atlanta’s Chief of police (Chief Jenkins) taught our fifth grade class, and after the last class, he took us down to the Atlanta jail to show us their weapons, and then the cells themselves. Then he tells us how Jesus can keep us safe, anywhere, and we believe him. He leads us in a prayer of confession, and he and his aid declare us men as they serve Holy Communion, and give us bibles. At 11 years of age, I was the youngest in the class. On my 12th birthday, I choose to be baptized at my mother and fathers old home Church at Hiram Ga. My grandmothers and grandfathers were some of the founders, and we still have relatives who attended there. There are once a year all day singing and eating on the ground reunions, which feature lines and lines of southern farm cooking. Memories like these, of those simple people and their love for each other still warms my soul. As a Christian businessman I am called to do Justice, with a heavy on the do part, love mercy, give the other feller every break I can-especially if it doesn’t cost me anything, and walk humbly-and there is not one of my customers I wouldn’t go out of my way for, and I have already helped many that way. As a 23 year Gideon, our mission is to take the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to as many men women and children as possible. With these guidelines, Gideon lives become seamless. As a writer, my aim is to restore our souls, and the soul of America. We have a society that tells us we come from worthless tissue. What kind of self-image is that? Christians are about answered prayer. As Americans, Christians want the 10 commandments as the basis of our laws, and the Bible taught as history in our Church’s, homes, and schools. As our society changes Christian stories will come into demand, and that could happen this year. I am a paid published author, with two stage plays that were semi-finalist in the 12th annual writers digest contest for new material (top 20%), first try. This year I am working on a screenplay. I have written three completed novels, and I work on short stories and dramatic presentations. One presentation has been performed seven times now, with amazing results and very positive feedback. Happily married for 33 years, (33 out of 46 is not bad) my wife Maggie and I have five children and five grandchildren. It is in our family lives that we can most easily see the goodness of the Holy Spirit working. Praise God. I am available for most any group setting that wants to experience more of God’s love in their lives. I can do up to one hour.
