Willie was born and raised on a dairy farm in up state New York. As a young man, Willie was always interested in knowing what was the real truth about life, and who or what was God; even though he did not know who God was or even hear about Jesus until he was 21 years old. However, Willie had a deep desire to know who God was, and it was in 1976 that he received the Lord into his life. As Willie matured in Christ, God began to impress upon his heart in 1998 to write this book. But it was in 2012 that this book became a reality.
