The Gospel according to Walt "Baby" Love

the long version

For more than three decades, Walt "Baby" Love has touched the lives of more than ten million radio listeners across the world. He has built a huge following and repeatedly shattered racial barriers as a black man in an industry long dominated by whites. Yet this former army paratrooper, who served in Southeast Asia, also broke ground as a man of disciplined, abiding faith who refused to bow to corrupt influences. His popular syndicated rhythm-and-blues show lost its spot on a Chicago radio station because Walt would not refrain from counseling his listeners to look to Jesus. Here he offers reflections and inspirational thoughts drawn from his life. He shares how his religious convictions helped him survive in an industry he believed to be rife with ungodly influences. And he recounts the story of his progression of faith from a player of gospel and R&B music to an ordained minister.--From publisher description.
