Down Home Wisdom: Faith, Freedom, and The Front Porch Way of Life: Faith, Freedom, and The Front Porch Way of Life

This book is written for families and people of all ages. The intent

is to share timeless wisdom and Scripture that many of us older folks

grew up with. These principles were not only taught but also modeled

in the lives of the adults around us. Back in my day, down home, it

was up to us as children, teenagers, and young adults to build character

by living out these wise words. Many of them were just old sayings to

us until we got older and realized we were now those older people who

tried to drive home these morals through sometimes thick skulls
