Hello everyone,
My name is Larry Vaughn. I’m a retired letter carrier, a Vietnam veteran, and I’ve been married to my best friend, Marie, for fifty-eight years. We have three daughters, eleven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren, and we live on a small farm just outside Memphis, Tennessee.
I began studying the Bible on my own as a form of therapy while dealing with PTSD. I worked my way through all sixty-six books, pulling out the verses that spoke most strongly to me and recording them in a notebook, along with brief explanations. That personal study eventually became the foundation for my first two books.
I’ve also loved quotations for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve collected them from many sources—but of course, the greatest quotations of all come from Scripture.
While studying the writings of the Founding Fathers, I also discovered powerful and often overlooked quotations that were too meaningful to keep to myself. Those discoveries became the foundation for my most recent book, The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have: A Treasury of Useful Quotations.
Best regards,
Larry Vaughn
