Fred O. Doty brings a sense of compassion to these stories about his ministry, grounded by his childhood in pre-World War II Tennessee and his years as a pastor in churches in churches in Columbus, Chalmers, Long Beach and Woodland Hills.
Doty also provides keen insights into the human spirit, informed by his work as a psychologist. During his tenure as minister of the Woodland Hills minister he directed an interdenominational counseling center Charleston, SC, and retired from his formal ministry to become a mental health consultant at a Catholic hospital in New Prague, MN.
