Author Description

Edd Brown was labeled "the runt" when he was born on the cusp of the Great Depression. His grandfather dryly predicted that the boy would never amount to much. With the odds stacked against him, Edd would survive a lightning strike at age one, grow into a scrappy teenager in Dust Bowl Texas and go on to serve his country during World War II aboard a U.S. Navy fleet oiler dubbed the "Floating Service Station." His tough beginnings spurred Edd to pursue a full and challenging life in which he served a number of Baptist churches and associations, established a thriving state men's ministry in California, and traveled to the remotest parts of the world to serve others in the name of Jesus. In Only God Knows: A Journey of Love, Faith and Joy, the first half of a two-volume autobiography, Edd Brown offers a deeply personal account of the "blessed life" he has known as God's servant, husband to his beloved Flo and father to four children.
