The Big White Church Down the Street: Give Me That Old Time Religion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545681466)

Minister Calvin Allen is compassionate about people of God that are abused in any capacity. His purpose and calling is to serve God in informing and helping people make wise choices in choosing a church that lives by the Bible in words, and in deeds. Like Jesus, his focus is on the sinner, who, through bad choices and issues of life, has lost their way.

Minister Calvin is an author, minister, addiction counselor, and an award winning gospel music artist, whom God delivered from two devastating deaths. He holds two associates degrees in theology and human services, and currently pursuing his Bachelors in Organizational Behavior. He hosts an Overcomers Outreach Group weekly, while walking the streets in his community seeking those that are depraved and destitute. He volunteers on the Pastoral Team at the local hospital.

Minister Calvin is a voice of Hope for the lost--the sinner, who, seeks refuge in a societal structure that seems to be falling apart.

In our contemporary church culture today, there is a battle arising from the inside. People are crying out for help from a sacred entity that seems to be non-existent in many of our churches. Leaders are fighting against the turbulence of internal troubles unresolved. Congregants are leaving because of poor and ineffective leadership. Circles of family members and close friends are the predominant benefactors of the church cultures in many churches today. This book exposes the ungodly acts of leaders and the effects that their leadership have on the people of God.
