Western
Oklahoma author Tom Spence, will
be selling and signing his books at District
House in Oklahoma City on Saturday,
2 April 2016 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The
District House is located at 1755 NW 16th St
Oklahoma City. Parking is sometimes
interesting on the main street but there is plenty of parking just a block off
the district in the residential areas.
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 recently returned 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, 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.
Please join
Tom on Saturday 2 April 2016, buy a few books, and get a cup of coffee or a sandwich at the District House in this
wonderful area just made for people who like to enjoy a Saturday afternoon.
