Chet Bush wrote Called to the Fire while serving as a pastor in Oxford, Mississippi. As a minister in the Church of the Nazarene, Bush served three congregations from 2000 to 2015 in southeast Texas, middle Tennessee, and north Mississippi. Working on Rev. Johnson's story ignited a passion in Bush to study the intersection of race and religion during the civil rights movement. Bush is a graduate of Trevecca Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary, and the University of Mississippi where he recently earned a PhD in US History. His latest work centers on the 1968 Poor People's Campaign Mule Train.
