Roy Key says of Fire in My Bones-Sword in My Soul: "This I had to write. To make one more attempt to reach back across the gulf to family and friends who could not understand why I am gone. To let 'Disciples' know who this sojourner is among them, why he came, the road he traveled, the dream that lures him still, and the pain that will not stop as long as the rift remains."

Roy Key, born on an Alabama red-clay, two-mule cotton farm, experienced the challenges of Depression Days, college and graduate school, teaching and preaching 20 years in the Church of Christ, 23 years in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and 20 years of retirement in Rogers, Arkansas.
