Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Will you love her, honor her, and cherish her for as long as you both shall live?" Tommy assented to this question not once, not twice, but three times. And each time, he stood before the same woman! Follow his story as he journeys from the Dead River swamp of South Georgia through the muddy waters of a sin-filled life as a rebellious teen, a disrespectful son, an arrogant US Marine, an unfaithful husband, and an absent father until, in desperation and on realizing his need for more than human help, he cried out to God! You will be inspired as his story unfolds. Just as the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well received a drink of Jesus's living water, changing everything for her, so it was for Tommy Poole. A life of sin being overcome by God's abundant, amazing grace and love and then the incredible joy of experiencing human forgiveness that comes after, which could only be the fruit of the Savior's example, all lead to a life of service in ministry for his Redeemer! Tommy journals how the voyage from this life's dead river to living water is possible for everyone! Comments from Pastor Gary Moyer, VP for Administration/Executive Secretary of the Caroline Conference "If you need encouragement that God is able to turn your life around for the better, you need to read this book. This is one of those easy, compelling reads I found hard to put down. I've known Tommy for years but never knew the whole, amazing story. Wow!" Comments from Thomas T. Hardy, Director and Speaker of the Layman's Guidepost, LLC. "What an amazing testimony! Absolutely amazing! I love the river/ water allegory and how it remains consistent throughout the book. The opening scene at the kitchen table is incredibly powerful! It drew me in immediately! Your early years were so intensely challenging with so many distinctive experiences. This story is something a lot of people will not be able to put down once they get started. It is almost like a movie! "Your raw honesty is very earthly and real, making your references to the spiritual concepts more voracious for the consumption of the reader. I love it! The impelling motives you give the reader at the end of most chapters kept me wanting more. Yet the horrors of the alcoholic demon that overshadowed your life gave me great insight about and empathy for your struggle, Pastor! "This is good stuff! Both interesting and spiritually compelling, this book grips the reader from the outset with scenes of gritty, fallen humanity inspired and transformed by the living waters cascading from the throne of God! The reader is invited to relive the journey of a man caught in the throes of the fallen nature, being miraculously lifted up by the hands of Jesus Christ from His cross. "Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of reviewing this book! It has been a personal blessing to me in my faith walk, and I am sure that it will be a blessing to every soul who reads it."
