About the Author

The author was born in rural Orange County North Carolina and accepted Christ at the early age of eleven. He attended the public schools of North Carolina and graduated with honors from the Hillsboro High School and began pursuing a career in mortuary science. He enlisted in the United States Army at the age of nineteen during the Korean War and served honorably for five years as a medical technician. While serving his country, he accepted the Call to the Gospel ministry. After his discharge from the military, he enrolled in the North Carolina College in Durham where he received the Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science and Psychology. He then continued his quest for higher education at The Shaw University School of Religion in Raleigh, North Carolina where he was awarded the Master of Divinity degree. He later enrolled in The Howard University School of Religion where he earned the Doctor of Ministry degree. His dissertation was entitled “A Ministry To A Suffering Community.” He was later awarded two honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees; one from Shaw University and the other from Guadulupe College, Sequin, Texas. This book shares some of the experiences of a childhood encounter with Christ and 50 years as a pulpiteer. Dr. Daye is also the author of Pastoral Crises, an overview of his entire ministry, which in part chronicles the practice of ministry by many pastors..
