Biblical Concepts for Todays Concerns

About the Book

My name is William Brannan. I was born in November of 1955 to a poor couple. My father was alcoholic and my parents divorced while I was only three or four. I did not remember my dad at that time and though I wanted a dad, I was out-going and friendly until we started moving so often I fell behind in school. I began to feel insecure and unlovable. Though I was highly intelligent and did very well on all aptitude scores, I believed myself to be inferior and refused to apply myself. I had a hole in my sole and eventually sought to fill it by many unsavory means. It would be many years before that hole would be filled by the living true creator God. Jesus saved me from death and eternal damnation. After my salvation I was given a desire to preach the Gospel but all doors to that ministry would prove to be closed, locked, and nailed shut. In February or 2011 I “accidently” founded “For His Praise”, www.forhispraise.com, a web-log to the honor and praise of Him who saves. While writing for this blog, a flame of passion for writing was kindled in my soul. As the positive comments poured in, I was encouraged to take my writing a step further. Hence this first book of the series “Biblical Concepts for Today’s Concerns” was conceived. In this series “from the quill of a layman” you will learn much more of this writer; who I was, who I am, and who I am becoming. You may also want to visit www.quillofalayman.com for more to come.
