"For I know the plans I have for you," declares Yahuah, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
"Me and My Hero" written in memory of my big brother Arvis "Rusty" Ryan. I hope you enjoy reading my book as much as I enjoyed writing it. You'll read how Yahuah brought a young black kid from Calera Al. to Columbus Ga. and blessed him. In life Rusty was a lot of things; but to me he was my big brother and my hero.

I remember as a child watching the movie Brians Song with my family. It was my favorite football movie. At the end when Brian died my mother and I both cried. The movie begins with a quote from Earnest Hemingway that says "All true stories end in death." Me and My Hero" is a true story about Rusty's life, but his death isn't the end of his story only the beginning of his new eternal life in Heaven with Yahuah Father and Son Yahusha.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with Yahuah.
Rusty believed that, I believe that and I pray that after reading his story that you will believe it too.
