Very few of us can imagine being kidnapped.  We watch movies that portray it.  We might even think about a worst-case scenario.  In our reality-driven media world, our attention turns to the extreme.  Maybe that is why Buried Alive by Roy Hallums is so captivating.

His story captivates you from the very first page.  Recounting his experience of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Roy Hallums recounts his horrific experienced of being kidnapped by terrorists in real-time fashion.

I could not put the book down.  Literally, I finished it within hours.  I was overwhelmed at times by Hallums perseverance, boldness, hope, and survival skills.  I continually asked myself, “If I were in this situation, could I persevere?”  From a very humble perspective, Hallums provides readers with amazing clarity of every moment of his nearly one-year captivity.

Buried Alive is a 5 out of 5.  If you are searching for your next auto-biographical book to read, this is it!

I am blessed to serve as Pastor of the West Bradenton Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida, since June ’08.  Prior to this role, I served as Pastor to University Students (5 years) and as Pastor to Students (12 years).

I grew up in Bartlett, Tennessee, just outside of Memphis, TN.  The Lord moved powerfully in my life as a freshmen in college regarding an unyielding commitment to Jesus Christ.  I have never regretted that decision!  I graduated from Memphis State University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Sociology.  I received my Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.  I am currently praying about beginning my doctoral studies in expository preaching.

My wife, Nova, and I have been married since June ’93 and we have one daughter, a pug named Lulu, and a border collie/lab mix named Tootsie.
