PREFACE and Disclaimer

"Mama was a Preacher" is a story about a young boy who grows up as the son of a traveling revival evangelist, eventually becoming a star in his own right as a modern day television evangelist.

The book traces that evolution examining not only religion, but the development of the boy while in the public eye. And of course, SEX, plays just as important a part in his life as it does with anyone else.

I invite you to partake of this adventure as it leads from the 1940's into the 1990's, as it traces the evolution of a young boy's sexual development through adolescence, young adult, and middle age. As he evolves from a preacher's son, to a road pounding itinerate evangelist. The story takes a close look at "being on the road", developing sexuality while in the public eye, the emotional relationship between performer and audience, and today's multi-media religious television business with its many political facets.

The issue of religion is expected to make this work a very controversial one, as it takes an honest look at this human frailty in light of human appetites.

If the reader can identify with any of the characters in the story, then learn from it. All of the characters are based on real people, however, in most instances the names have been changed to protect the guilty. If you feel you have been libeled, resist the opportunity to come forward, use the cloak of anonymity lest ye be found out.

But as with all works of fiction, and "Mama was a Preacher" is a work of fiction, people and events appear real, because in fact they were real.
