About the Author
Although this is Tom Lloyd’s first book, he has written stories, an array of poems, and many gospel songs. Governor Jimmie Davis of Louisiana recorded three of his songs, including “She Touched the Hem of His Garment,” “Heavens Avenue,” and “Soul Train to Glory.”
The Man Called Jesus was inspired by Tom’s daughter’s encounter with the scripture concerning the thief on the cross who turned to Jesus for help.
Tom graduated from Hermitage High School in 1952, and then served two years in the United States Army. He worked for thirty-six years in the paint coatings industry. He was with Glidden Paint Company for twenty-eight years and with Devoe Paint Company for eight years.
Tom’s wife Louise retired from her job with the International Mission Board as assistant facilities manager, and they now live with their daughter and her family in Chester, Virginia.
