Thanks. I’m a writer too and I wrote a little booklet which is in the museum call Father Divine. It talks about famous figures during his time that talks about how he made a positive impact in their lives. I might do a part 2 in the future. I should have named it more than just Father Divine so it would be easier to find but anyway it’s there. My name is Michael Adcock, and it’s by Michael Adcock.
