I am so very glad to add my tribute to George Beverly Shea, as he has had such a profound influence in my life and journey as a Christian. My father often confessed that Mr. Shea got him through some dark days in seminary when he would come home somewhat discouraged, and put a stack of Mr. Shea’s 45 RPM records on and be renewed in his faith. On this past Sunday we remembered Mr. Shea in our worship service, and heard again that great sermon/song, “I”d Rather Have Jesus.” Looking forward to meeting one of my hero’s in Heaven someday! Blessings!
