God’s Only Son
Most people who know me know I’ve been involved in music my entire adult life. I write and record music and play in my church’s contemporary Christian band as a singer and lead and rhythm guitar player.
I wrote the song called God’s Only Son which goes well with my book named “Facing Myself”
About the Author.
I was born in Chicago in June of 1951 with a very severe facial deformity. I had roughly 65 surgeries performed by one of the foremost surgeons in the U.S. Even though he did his best, the deformity was still very noticeable. Because of that, I grew up in an environment that shunned people like me. At that time, I was labeled with mental retardation (which I wasn’t). During my early years growing up, I was bullied, scorned, and laughed at. When depression took hold at age 22, I eventually took a dark turn, and at the lowest point in my life, I planned suicide. One episode turned my life around and, at that final moment, gave me peace. I accepted who I was and never looked back.
About the Book
Does God exist? Is there more to life than just plodding through it day by day? Have you ever felt unworthy, tired, and beaten down? Many people have been there, and some even get to the point where they want to end it all and succeed. Tom felt the same way to the point of ending it all. He was in a terrible place emotionally, gave up on life, and wanted to do the unforgivable. One encounter in the middle of the night saved him. And at age 22, that brief encounter turned his life around and filled it with peace.
