Hellfire, Brimstone and Fried Chicken: Growing up CHURCHED in the South

Dr. Ted Ary has a unique ability of describing life in the South while living in the shadow of the Sunday sermon, delivered from a fiery pulpit to the congregation. Stories are transformed into anecdotes of church life as he tracks this culture and belief system through medical training and the uncomfortable dilemma of grief, sickness, the equality of people, all in relation to the Providence of God.

He practiced Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in South Georgia for forty years and is a writer, husband, father and most importantly, a grandfather.

He maintains a blog: www.sundaygotomeetin.com

From Prologue: Hellfire, Brimstone and Fried Chicken, Growing Up Churched in the South.
"This is a story about growing up in the South, sitting in a familiar pew of a little clapboard, country church, or gazing at the stained-glass windows from a bigger one in town, usually with a higher ceiling and a larger pulpit for transmission of the sermon."
