And So, I Write: My story, just the way it happened, seriously!

by Adrian L. Kerley

This is my story—a story spanning over seven
decades and two continents, a life of family, career,
profession, and ministry, a journey through
historical, social, and technological change unique to
my generation, and a pilgrimage of Faith, from
Baptist to Catholic. This is a life entirely mine and
perhaps a little yours, too.

And So, I Write by Adrian Kerley is one man’s memoir
of an extraordinary life — and perhaps, in
unexpected ways, a reflection of your own. Turn the
page, and begin the journey.
