Life on the farm as a son of an extremely legalistic preacher presented a challenge for a young boy whose main goal was to keep from spending an eternity in hell. The relationship he had with his angry father was one of crime and punishment, and that’s how he believed God operated as well. As one of five adventure-seeking country preacher’s sons who feared nothing, their antics reveal the trials and triumphs of a lifelong search for truth. The seemingly never-ending task of dismantling the sheep shed parallels the author’s struggles with finding truth in organized religion.
About the Author
Ed Havens is one of five country preacher’s sons who has devoted almost all his life to searching for truth about God. Ed and his brothers grew up in an environment that most people have never heard of today. There was no running water or indoor plumbing on the farm, and they heated the house with a woodburning stove. After a short college stint, he spent thirty-three years in some phase of the automobile business and was involved in music longer than that. Ed is a conservative, second-amendment Christian who believes that a stranger is simply a friend he hasn’t met.
