Montgomery Author Thomas McGowan Releases Memoir of Faith, “God Stories,” Through Covenant Books

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Thomas McGowan has published a new memoir, "God Stories: A Collection of 18 Remarkable God Stories from One Ordinary Man’s Life, Over a Span of 30 Years," through Covenant Books. Studio CarryOnHarry received an announcement describing the book as eighteen personal accounts drawn from three decades of McGowan’s life, organized around three themes: divine protection, material provision, and shifts in perspective.

McGowan, who lives in Montgomery, New York, with his wife Susan, writes that he committed his life to Christ at fifteen and has spent the four decades since building a practice of daily prayer. According to the announcement, the book’s eighteen stories include accounts of protection from danger, illness, and injury, provision of land, equipment, and housing, and experiences he describes as having reshaped his outlook on his own circumstances.

The book’s framing device, per the announcement, is a direct question McGowan poses to readers: do you really believe God will answer your prayer. "My deepest desire is that these stories will ignite a passion in readers to pray more intentionally about everything in their lives, and through that prayer, to encounter the same God who parted the Red Sea and toppled Jericho’s walls," McGowan said in the release.

The publisher describes the work as intended to invite readers to examine their own relationship with prayer and to consider the events McGowan recounts as evidence of divine involvement rather than coincidence. McGowan and his wife have raised four children, who the announcement states continue to practice the same faith.

"God Stories" is available through Covenant Books and at major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of personal-testimony memoirs reaching readers through Christian publishing houses, a genre that finds its audience less through critical attention than through word of mouth in churches and faith communities.
