Norman R. Gardner was a natural storyteller who excelled at taking everyday incidents from his life experiences and relating them to his audience, while gleaning spiritual application from the story. Out of the Past with a Twist of Truth offers a collection of humorous, thought-provoking, and down-to-earth illustrations from his past.

Unique pastor for sixty-three years, he was noted for his love of the color red and for wearing red western boots in the pulpit. Norman loved riding motorcycles almost as much as he loved preaching and telling humorous stories from his past.

The stories first appeared in the 1990-1991 church newsletter The Messenger in Orange Park, Florida and were compiled by his wife, author June M. Gardner, after his death on Memorial Day, 2021 at the age of eighty-five.

Illustrated by artist friend, Frances Anne Thompson, these stories are meant to provide enjoyment and inspiration.
