Join the author on his journey through life as he describes "how great things" the Lord has done for him, and watch the providential blessings of God unfold one by one as He takes a seventeen year old boy from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, "who didn't know nothin', didn't have nothin', couldn't do nothin', wasn't much good for nothin," and gives him a wife, family, career, education, son-in-law and daughter-in-law along with grandchildren, calls him to preach, and, at last, leads him to Salem, West Virginia to serve as pastor of one of His churches.
