They Called Me A Missionary Once

They Called Me a Missionary Once is the true story of a life passed from house to house, country to country, calling to calling — a boyhood of servitude in Calabar, a mysterious old woman on a Ghanaian beach who vanishes without a trace, an altar call he has no memory of answering, and years of devoted ministry that ended with a single sentence, spoken calmly over a phone line: "You are not a missionary."

This is a memoir about being used and discarded by the very people who taught him to have faith — and about what it costs, and what it finally builds, to stop waiting for someone else to call you home.

Raw, unflinching, and ultimately hopeful, this is a story for anyone who has ever been told they don't belong — and decided to build a home anyway.
