- Earl Kimbrough regarded himself, an amateur artist, writer, historian, and preacher. His main activity aside from preaching was the study of Restoration Movement History and painting numerous watercolor portraits and scenes. But besides preaching, writing was what he enjoyed most, publishing a total of 20 books in his lifetime. Ten of his books were published during the last two years of his life while he was confined to his bed. He wrote several hundred articles for various gospel papers and has been referred to as “The most voluminous writer of Restoration Movement History”.
Earl’s first love has always been preaching the Gospel. He began preaching during his college years at Florida Christian College and continued to preach for 70 years. He served as a regular preacher in Frostproof, FL (3 years), Largo, FL (2 years), Dothan, AL (9 years on two occasions), Waycross, GA (6 years), Brandon, FL (16 years) and East Bay near Sun City Center, FL (25 years). He preached in over 20 states, and three foreign countries and did missionary work in Barbados along with preaching in Florida prisons.

Such is understandable since it is where the author is from and the area in which he focused his labors. Stories will tell of events when preaching, responses to preaching, conversion stories, arguments and disputations in debates and in papers, etc.
The substance of the stories is good to have recorded and to hand down. A few of them seemed redundant and covered over similar ground, but so it goes with many preacher stories and recollections.
The author is rather sanguine about the "fighting style" and how productive it has been. The author seems to recognize the treatment of people of color in the South was lamentable but proves willing to prove apologetic about characters like Jefferson Davis, as if his strictures in his personal conversation and demeanor should be salvaged in light of how he dedicated his life to the preservation of chattel slavery. Such can be expected from a child of the South of a certain generation but it makes it no less lamentable. Yet, as a witness to history, it is important to maintain it, so later generations can see not just what happened but why it happened and how so many would go so far for so long to apologize for those who participated in it.… (plus d'informations)
