Here is how and why it started

First Generation

It started out simple enough. I would combine our 6,000 mile boat cruise around the Eastern US coastal and inland waterways with research on what may become a book about Christians who became so as adults. I would walk into all those quaint little river or coastal towns looking for the first church I could find and get a meeting with the pastor. In turn, I would get a referral to someone in that church who may be a good candidate for my research. My plan was to interview 50 to 60 people who are my heros; people who didn’t’ start their lives like me with a mom and dad who brought me up in a loving Christian home. But who, like my parents, discovered the life-giving power of salvation later on in life and kept the faith through the good and bad times, bringing up their 4 children who are today all committed to the faith and having the same influence on their children..
