Coming to a Low Country Bookstore near you!

Western Oklahoma author and retired Marine Tom Spence, will be selling and signing his books at McIntosh Book Shoppe on Friday, 8 July 2016 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  The store is located at 917 Bay Street in Beaufort, South Carolina 29902.

His newest release is Acceptance of Authority.

Tom will have a variety of books published by Tate Publishing.  Two of the most hard-hitting books, especially for those in western Oklahoma, are Throw Away Kids and PoMo Poverty.  In these companion selections, Tom goes beyond identifying society’s problems; he brings us to solutions that don’t wait on the government to fix or ignore the problems.

Tom is an ordained minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the pastor of the congregation in Burns Flat, Oklahoma. 

As a pastor, he returned last summer from his second trip to Africa to train pastors and church leaders in Kenya and Uganda.  He has served as moderator of the Red River Presbytery but perhaps is best known as the guy who gives out wristbands that read:  GOD LOVES YOU – LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

He is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer that served in all four Marine Divisions, including a tour training reservists.  He has served in Iraq and Kuwait, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, aboard Marine bases on the east and west coasts of the United States, and has a substantial amount of service afloat.  His final tour was as a program manager in charge of maintenance and modifications of Marine Corps ground training systems and simulators around the globe.

Tom served as both student and instructor at the Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia—the Crossroads of the Corps, and proudly boasts that he successfully avoided a tour in the Pentagon for his entire career.  Tom wrote two books specifically about the Marine Corps.  The first was a first person collection of observations and anecdotes titled Sea Stories.  The other was Christianity for Marines.

Tom will also have with him, two unique books with fast moving dialogue where two men—The Conversation—and two women—Going Up—drop their defense mechanisms and actually talk about important things.

Please join Tom on Friday 8 July 2016, buy a few books, and enjoy this Bay Street establishment.
Check out this review  and interview conducted by Serious Reading for Tom’s novel set against an end times background—Even the Elect.

You might be a grunt if...

I have published this in many places, but thought now would be a good time to put it forth once more. GRUNT A few years ago, Jeff Foxworthy had some fun with a cultural background he simply classified as redneck.  Having spent 20 years in the Marine  Infantry, I offer a similar perspective on that calling simply know as grunt . You might be a grunt if… You can't make sense of any of the abbreviations used by the New York  Stock Exchange, but know by heart the trading value of every component of a C-Ration  or MRE .
