Merle Temple is the author 4 books of the Michael Parker series: Deputy: Once Upon A Time in Mississippi, A Ghostly Shade of Pale, A Rented World, and The Redeemed: A Leap of Faith. A fifth book, Blood On The Ground, will be released in the fall (US winter) of 2018. Merle’s books chronicle a series of stranger than fiction historical events that only Merle could write about with such authenticity, because he lived them. His writing is so cinematic that a movie or TV series leaps off the pages as you read the books and that will happen. A native of Tupelo, Mississippi, Merle’s books are drawn from his experiences as a deputy sheriff, an agent in the first "drug wars," the first captain in the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, a manager in the corporate world, a campaign chairman in the corporate and political wars, and an evangelist in prison. From here Merle’s story becomes even more murky and sinister, but finally there’s a great outcome, which makes listening to this podcast a must. Even though Merle was put into prison in a high profile political case, he formed the most successful inmate led ministry in the history of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Merle recently spoke to inmates in the prison where he was incarcerated. The ministry he began continues almost ten years after its creation and is bigger and better than ever. Ghostly, the all-time bestselling novel for Barnes and Noble in North Mississippi, was chosen by one college as required reading for English students; his books are used in middle school and high school English classes in several US states while Deputy is now used by Mississippi State University. Church libraries, shelters, and prisons in eight states also share his books. To learn more go to his website: merletemple.com.
JOURNEY OF HOPE WITH RODNEY MATHERS (mathersrodney@yahoo.com)
Hello Everyone! My guest this week has had drug dealers talking about where to burry his body and hit men tring to kill him. Merle Temple has been a deputy sheriff, an agent for the Mississippi Bureau of Narcatics (captain), a campaign chairman, an author, and an inmate in a federal prison. Merle discusses his life, how he reintegrated, and how his books are being used to help people. Check out my interview with Merle Temple and afterwards, check out his web page: Merle Temple Remember, if God is for you, who can be against you?
Youtube host Chuck Morse is joined by Merle Temple, author of "Deputy: Once Upon A Time in Mississippi." Merle Temple Bio: Merle Temple is a native of Tupelo where he lives with his wife, Judy. He received two degrees at Ole Miss, and is the author of the Michael Parker series: Deputy: Once Upon A Time in Mississippi, A Ghostly Shade of Pale, A Rented World, and The Redeemed: A Leap of Faith. The novels are written as fiction but drawn from his experiences as a deputy sheriff, an agent in the first "drug wars," the first captain in the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, a manager in the corporate world, a campaign chairman in the political wars, and an evangelist in prison. Merle was held hostage by drug dealers near Tylertown, and contract assassins hired by the Dixie Mafia tried to kill him near Memphis. Merle and his team were ambushed by a sniper in a terrible gun battle near Columbus, a day of dramatic intervention by God. After investigating a corrupt governor, he moved from law enforcement to the corporate world, and learned that the gangsters, who had tried to kill him, were just choir boys compared to the political criminals who use the full power of the state to crush their enemies in an unholy trinity of politics, crime, and business. Treachery and betrayal ran all the way to the front door of the White House, and the "last of the Boy Scouts" was indicted and sent to federal prison, but it was in that nightmare that God used His "megaphone of pain" to shout at Merle: "Can you hear Me now?" Against all odds, Merle formed what became the most successful inmate led ministry in the history of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and his Christian Movie Nights in three facilities exposed thousands of men to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Merle returned to that first awful prison in December to speak to the inmates. The prison now uses Merle's books in a drug prevention program, and the movie nights that he began so long ago continue today, except now they are in English and Spanish.
NEW BOOK BY CHUCK MORSE: Apostles of Evolution: The Practical Result of the Evolutionary Faith Link: http://amzn.com/B00B0O6AJU 1st guest: Merle Temple, author of "A Ghostly Shade of Pale." Review: The divergent elements of a Southern Gothic nightmare converge and occupy the same stage in A Ghostly Shade of Pale where all the history files on a bygone era are ripped open and rewritten. The violent and dark conflicts of a Mississippi in transition in the 1970s unfold as the players find themselves trapped in games of murder, betrayal, the macabre, and the supernatural. Michael Parker comes of age as the tranquility of the old South is shattered by the Vietnam War, civil unrest, assassinations, political corruption, and a wave of drug abuse that brings the first war on drugs to his front door. A chain of events leads him to become an unlikely player in a game of international intrigue and a clandestine struggle for the soul of America. He leaves Ole Miss to enter a world he does not understand as an agent for the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics where he encounters Fredrick Hammel, a ghostly pale sadist and Satanist who suffers from albinism and psychosis. With eyes so red they appear to bleed, Hammel becomes Michael's obsession and tormentor as he quotes the Satanic Bible and leaves a trail of bodies across the South. Mississippi’s crop duster airfields become launching pads for smugglers hired by rogue elements of intelligence agencies to smuggle guns into Central America and to return with drugs to finance black operations, shaping what they call the "Real America." They employ Fredrick to manipulate protests against the war and as a contract assassin. They realize too late that his loyalties are not to them or to the communists he also manipulates as a double agent but to the voices in his head that speak to him incessantly. An uneasy and complex alliance between these shadowy figures, organized crime bosses and corrupt politicians form a matrix where Fredrick indulges his madness, slimy Mississippi politicians nurture their deviancy, and snipers ambush Michael and his agents on frozen fields of regret. A deadly game of cat and mouse threatens the life of the woman Michael loves, loses, and finds again as she washes down black beauties with champagne in the seamy Memphis nightclubs of the Dixie Mafia. Parker, a modern paladin in search of just causes and dragons to slay, is a cop-philosopher commenting on the world in which he travels as he awakens at the age of twenty-six to find that the whole of his life—his notion of right and wrong and of good and evil—was all a lie. The plan to alter America filters down to and corrupts the system at all levels and claims the lives of those who could never know or imagine the origin of their demise. It all comes unraveled in the madness of Fredrick and the conflicted state police agent who unwittingly becomes the fly in the ointment to machinations he cannot begin to grasp until he is forced to fight for his life and the lives of those he loves against enemies seen and unseen.
