About Me

My photo
Dennis Thurman
I am a mountaineer by birth--a native of Asheville, NC. For a period of ten years I lived in the Charlotte area and since 1995, I have been "home." I was brought up in a Christian family. In fact, I went to church nine months before I was born! Despite the best efforts of parents and preachers, I went astray. The Prodigal Son story that Jesus told in Luke 15 became my story--a sordid life of drugs and booze and that's enough for you to know. But at the age of eighteen all I had been taught came flooding back into my mind when I saw the mess I was in. Christ changed me. I gave my life to Him and as a result have spent the last three decades preaching the Gospel. I'm not all I ought to be and certainly not what I one day shall be, but thankfully, not what I used to be! God has blessed me with a great wife, five wonderful children and so far, thirteen grandchildren—one of which is in heaven. To Him be the glory and praise, now and forever.
