The Life and Ministry of Billy and Shirley Cole

[Sam]

A while back we had a thread on here about Billy Cole and his health. He was in a hospital with congestive heart failure and we prayed for him. Thank God, he was later released.

In that thread there was mention of a book titled "The Life and Ministry of Billy and Shirley Cole" and some mentioned that they were going to procure a copy. I got a copy and read it. It's not a long book (227 pages), the print is large and it has lots of pictures so it can be read pretty quickly. I have read it and would recommend it. I like biographies/autobiographies.

I have only heard Billy Cole twice, both at Calvary Church (UPC) which is a couple of miles from my house. Once was just when he was visiting and once was when he preached the funeral of Sis. Paslay, one of the pastors. Calvary Church was formed in 1968 when there was a split. Bro. and Sis. Norman Paslay had a falling out with Bro. F.E. Curts so they and part of the congregation left and formed Calvary Church. The Church is now pastored by their son, Norm Paslay. Some of my wife's relatives go there. When I first met Pastor Norm Paslay he was about two years old. He's now an adult and is a fine man and pastor. I just couldn't go there and have him as my pastor but that's my problem, not his.

I'm going to post some quotes from Billy Cole's book. I'm sure many accept him as an Apostle and great man of God with a unique ministry.
