Walter's latest book, released in June, 2024, is JESUS IS EVERYTHING! The subtitle is: The One who created you wants to live in your heart and give you the joy of knowing your little life is being used for a mighty purpose. Available from Amazon. Walter is a good storyteller. His stories will make you laugh and cry. He knows the pain of failure and the joy of being rescued by caring friends. In his stories you will find inspiration, laughter, hope and encouragement. You can easily relate to Walter's stories because most of them come out of his struggles with the common issues of life. One of his most popular books is titled WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE YOU LOVE. There he tells the story of his son David's death at age 3, a victim of leukemia. Anyone who has lost a child will find help and hope in this book. Walter had been married to Dean for 68 and a half years when she died December 16, 2020. Six months later, Walter published his book about her suffering and death titled STRUGGLING WITH GRIEF, FINDING PEACE -- ONE MAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE VALLEY OF SORROW. It quickly became his most popular book as others struggling with grief are finding it helpful. In 2021 Walter revised and enlarged this book and Xulon Press published it with the same title. In 2020 Walter released a challenging book titled CHANGING YOUR WORLD: GROWING A PLAN ONE STORY AT A TIME. In it he encourages followers of Christ to overcome racism and hatred with kindness and love. In his book, LIFE'S GREATEST ADVENTURE - SERVING JESUS CHRIST, Walter shares creative ways to live as an authentic servant of Jesus. Since he retired at age 70, Walter has published 20 books. Finding that many older people die soon after they retire, Walter issued a challenge to retirees in his book, GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU, published in 2016 when Walter was 84. A United Methodist minister for 48 years, Walter is now a senior elder in the Gobal Methodist Church. In retirement he served 16 years on the staff of Saint James Methodist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. After 16 years St. James honored him by naming him Pastor Emeritus. He still teaches Sunday School and preaches occasionally at Saint James Church. In addition he serves as co-pastor of New Walk of Life Church, a black congregation in an impoverished area of west Montgomery. Walter and Dean were blessed with five children: David (deceased), Matthew, Mark, Timothy, and Steve. Their sons and their wives blessed them with 12 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren. From "The Glory Room" in his home, Walter produces a weekly video for his home church, Wetumpka First Methodist, where his son Matt serves as pastor. Walter is a graduate of Auburn University and Emory University's Candler School of Theology. Before transferring to Emory he spent the first year and a half of his theological studies at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. Walter's wife Dean is the author of two books: The Yellow Butterfly (2010, available from Amazon) and Misplaced Heart (1990, available from Walter).
