Through book, Hoard shares life of faith and human failures
Local minister Ed Hoard has turned 53 years of sermons into his first book — “Confessions of a Crooked Christ-Follower”. The book covers Hoard’s career as a pastor at seven Georgia churches. “Every minister is a writer. A sermon is basically a 2,000-word essay,” said Hoard, who serves as pastor at Jackson Presbyterian Church. “If you prepare 100 sermons a year, after 53 years, you have 5,300 essays.” The book’s title comes from a quote from Martin Luther, Hoard’s favorite theologian. “He said God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick. Well, I’m the crooked stick that I hope God has used to draw straight lines,” said Hoard. “The Bible says that all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This book is all about my successes and my many, many failures.” It took Hoard about a year to complete the book that he said is filled with humor. “I use a lot of humor in my sermons because adults have about a three-minute attention span,” he said. “You have to give illustrations and I tell a lot of funny stories.” Hoard was born and proudly raised in Butts County (specifically Indian Springs).
