Robbie Willis was born and raised in rural Arkansas. The places and people in this book are ones with whom he is well acquainted. While more than a dozen eyewitnesses are cited throughout the book, the author was personally an eyewitness to the majority of events described in these pages.
Robbie and his wife, Anna May, have been in ministry together for about twenty-five years. God has blessed them with eight children, six who are still living. They have served as itinerant evangelists, lead pastors, and staff pastors, but throughout every phase of life, they have maintained a focus as revivalists. Robbie is currently the Discipleship Pastor with Link Church. He is an ordained minister with the Arkansas District of the Assemblies of God and holds a Master of Arts in Christian Ministries from Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. He is currently working toward a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation.
