A Desperate God: Discovering Father God Through the Answered Prayers of a Nobody

Clay Mize roots run deep in the southern soil. He can trace his ancestry back to the American colonist, and native Cherokees creating a family with no sense of being immigrants. They fought in the Revolution, on both sides of the Civil War, and in World Wars I and II. The closest his family comes to fame is through baseball. Ty Cobb and Johnny Mize are distant cousins who both played for the New York Yankees and are both in the MLB Hall of Fame. Clay’s mother and grandfather taught him the importance of learning to love work. Growing up on the family farm, by age ten he already understood the meaning of a long row to hoe. In the early years, in addition to the family farm and football, he worked as a furniture assembler, lifeguard, paper boy, waiter, cookie salesman, and oil field roustabout. In the middle years he was an owner and CEO of an insurance brokerage firm, University teacher, and talk show host. In his latest phase he manages real estate investments and a Bed and Breakfast, and is an author, speaker and coach.
