Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Ross Holmes was born in St. Petersburg, Florida 1921. Born from above at 21, he walked with the Lord Jesus Christ many years and was led to record what he had learned from the Bible. He asked the Lord, 'Who ever heard of me I'm a nobody.' Yet he decided to leave his writings with the Lord to do as He pleased with them. An aeronautical engineering student, he joined the Army Air Corps when WWII started and became an Instructor Pilot for B-24's.

After graduation, Mr. Holmes was called to the mission field and was led to St. Vincent, BWI in 1952, and was instrumental in starting the Baptist Bible College of the Caribbean. It has been in operation since 1958. A passion for souls also led him to Dominica and Madagascar. On one of his returns from the mission field in 1959, Bible classes were taught, leading to the eventual organization of Central Baptist Church in Eden, NC; at the same time, he was called by the Lord to found a church in Logtown, Va. while also ministering to inmates in Rockingham County Jail. During his latter years, the prison ministry in Winston-Salem was among his top priorities after moving there.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The theme of the 'reminisces, observations and opinions' as sought to be poetically expressed in these works, include no intended universal underlying topic but rather result from the author's attempt to achieve a catharsis of the author's frustration to, not having undertaken previously, original art and reflect overwhelmingly the author's occasions of instant inspiration during, almost without exception, the wee hours of the night. The author touched upon, directly and indirectly, some of his life's experiences, indeed, but also many of his philosophical beliefs, cultural recognitions and ruminations as to matters of life, love, professional endeavor and common every day occurrences and affiliations. The author intends no single purpose by the content of this work and felt free to 'ruminate', 'hold forth' and 'put his two bits in'. From the content of the work, can be gleaned not only many of the author's beliefs and philosophies but his desire for all of us 'to live it well'. Other than to hope for appreciation of the expressions in the substance of this work, the author aspires to nothing more than tolerant consideration of those expressions herein included.
