Home for Dr. Michael Barber has always been the American South, a place where family stories are passed down as an inheritance to the next generation of southerners. “Vegetables-for-Sale, A Child’s Discovery of Redemption in the American South” is a gathering of seven stories from Michael’s childhood. Each story explains a truth from God’s Word while focusing on encouragement and hope. All of Michael’s stories have been told on porches and pulpits throughout the South and each has been authenticated by his Godly Momma (because some are just hard to believe). Michael’s messages (stories) are told with the hope of uplifting others while preserving the memories of people and places he loves. All stories are served up with a good helping of Southern humor.

Michael and his wife Legay are blessed with two beautiful daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, two grandsons, and an overweight boxer named “Big Mac.” Michael retired from the school superintendency after serving more than thirty years in the public schools of Alabama. He now spends his time pastoring, preaching, teaching, speaking, serving as a chaplain, and playing bluegrass in the hilarious hillbilly “Cake Walk” string band.

Michael is proud of his southern heritage but believes wonderful people live in every part of our great nation. He has had waiters in Cambridge brew him sweet tea, politicians in Washington open their doors for the needs of his students, and cowboys in Wyoming offer their horses and prayers for him while on vacation. Michael and Legay have found God’s Grace and kindness on display in every city and state they have ever visited.

Michael and Legay both come from families who have served our nation. They each feel a great debt of gratitude for those who have served and currently serve in America’s armed forces.
God bless the U.S.A!

**Michael’s book is best enjoyed having someone from Alabama read it aloud to you. Michael will personally make himself available to speak to your group if you can make a real banana pudding.
