He graduated from Gordansville High School, entered Campbellsville College in 1938 to prepare to be a Minister of the Gospel. There he met Earline who was there preparing as a medical missionary. They fell in love, (that was God's way of making this union) and were married Aug. 22, 1939. Their wedding dinner consisted of bologna sandwiches, RC cola, and Moon pies.

He began writing as a child and continued during the high school years. As a freshman in college, with God's glory in view, Biblical research of and study replaced the fancied-dreamy thinking. The things learned went on paper, and for the first unrequired writing was about the 10 days surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Ten Eventful Days) During the early pastoral years, because of the people's need for Biblical truths he continued to write. Writing began in earnest and in larger (volume) when he began teaching in Bible College in 1957. This was done for his own and the benefit of the students. He has published over 50 books and pamphlets. He holds earned and honorary Doctor of Theology and Divinity Degrees from several colleges.
