Read an excerpt from “Lee Roberson: Always About His Father’s Business”
A Chattanooga pastor who was godlike to several generations of churchgoers, college students and religious officials across the country is remembered in a new authorized biography for his evangelistic bent and his single-mindedness.
“Lee Roberson: Always About His Father’s Business,” a biography the subject himself authorized well before his death in 2007, was published recently by Xulon Press and is available through Amazon.com or the publisher.
Author James H. Wigton, senior pastor of Delaney Street Baptist Church in Orlando, Fla., said he came to admire Roberson more as he researched and wrote about him than he did when he knew him as the longtime pastor of Highland Park Baptist Church and founder of Tennessee Temple University.
“He stands as a monumental pastor with an evangelistic church in the eyes of many, many Baptists,” he said.
