I should first mention that I am a regular member of the church Don Reid writes about in Sunday Morning Memories. That's one reason I was eager to read the book. Another reason is he included a great story about my father as a kid. (See the chapter titled "Money." I'm proud to say that Bobby, the entrepreneur candy salesman is my Dad. He still carries candy to church each Sunday morning- but now he gives it away free, thank you Skippy!) Each story Don tells about his church life reminds me of one of my own. Being able to entertain you with his personal stories, but also helping you remember your own is what makes Don a great writer and this a great book. You don't need to have the "Habit" (of going to church) to enjoy these anecdotes, there's a story for everyone in Sunday Morning Memories. My only complaint is that it left me wanting more. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Thanks, Don.

Sunday Morning Memories is a collection of reminences by Don Reid of growing up attending church services and church-sponsored events in his community. In looking back down the years, Reid reveals a wealth of life lessons learned from and shared with family and friends. It was in those Sunday meetings and services that habits and attitudes were formed and reinforced to last a lifetime. Sunday Morning Memories is very highly recommended reading for any and all members of the Christian community -- and might well inspire some readers to rejoin their church community in their church service celebrations, their Sunday School classes, vacation Bible schools and camps, Christmas and Easter pageants, pot-luck suppers, and more!

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my mom....a huge Statler brothers fan. She absolutely loved it. She said it made her think of old days and happier times.

Was very excited when I found out that Don Reid of The Statler Brothers also wrote books. I ordered three of his books at once. Sunday Morning Memories was the first I read. It was great. Loved the stories and even thou I attend a Southern Baptist church for the most part he could have been setting in my church all those years. His stories made me laugh and cry. It was great reading.

This inspirational,yet amusing book was purchased as a gift for a friend. My friend enjoyed the book very much, and would recommend it.
