Growing Up in God's Country - El McMeen - Bog

- A Memoir

Bag om Growing Up in God's Country

A #1 NEW RELEASE ON AMAZON! El McMeen hails from rural Pennsylvania. His full name is "Elmer Ellsworth McMeen, III." That's a good name for a kid, El says, if you want him to learn how to fight in elementary school. El didn't start so well. He wasn't on the gravy train, more like in front of it, waiting to get run over. He nearly died at birth. He has cerebral palsy. He had a broken home. He was, in his own words, a "miscreant." But his story is one of redemption. El became a "Wall Street lawyer," an internationally acclaimed acoustic guitarist, and a Christian minister. He and his wife Sheila have four married children and three grandchildren. "The Lord became my GPS," El says, "but in my case He still has to do a lot of 'recalculating.'" Join El on his journey. He is a gifted storyteller. The road winds through physical disability, youthful misdeeds, family tragedy, Harvard University, Penn Law School, music, and the intricacies of law practice, with a lot of laughs along the way. From small-town life to New York City, and back. "Growing Up in God's Country" is unabashedly evangelistic. It shows the amazing ways in which God moves in everyday lives. God has a sense of humor, too. If He didn't, El says, where did ours come from? "wonderfully written, moving memoir of a career lawyer, renowned fingerstyle guitarist, and devout Christian...a fascinating read and highly recommended." - S. " a witty, joyous, and fully-engaging account ... I am happy to recommend it unreservedly. " - F. "Written with humor, insight, intellect and spirit ... an important and memorable read." - E. "Beautifully written personal memoir ... a poignant story of soul-searching and achievement with broad appeal. " - D.
