Phillip Morrison was a "circuit rider" preacher in small churches while still in high school. By the time he got to David Lipscomb College, now Lipscomb University, he was preaching every Sunday at a rural congregation. After college, he and Mary Margaret Grounds married and began their ministry at a small, mostly military church in South Carolina, forming a partnership that lasted until her death almost sixty-two years later. Although they served churches of Christ in Detroit, Miami, Washington (Falls Church, Virginia), Memphis, and Nashville, Phillip always considered himself a non-denominational preacher, calling people to Christ rather than a church. Although encountering multitudes of people with a variety of needs, all had one thing in common: the need for encouragement. Desiring to be a "son of encouragement" like Barnabas (Acts 4:36), Phillip invites you to read this book with encouraging words on every page. See less
