Wife Inspired Evans Man’s Book

January 29, 2012 – Dr. Russ Holloman and his wife Lenora, who passed away in 2008, held evening devotionals in which they only discussed a single word. Those devotionals inspired Holloman to write And Now, a Word From Our Creator. Holloman is a retired Air Force psychologist, private therapist and college professor. He says he became fascinated with their single-word devotionals.

“I told her one day how much (it meant) to me to have discussed those words with her. She said, ‘Write a book,’” Holloman tells the Columbia County News-Times. “I consider each of those separate words sort of a mini-sermon. I have tried to write from both a theological and a psychological viewpoint.”

Including adultery, compassion, feat, grace, humility, and prayer, Holloman hopes the book will be a guide for moral behavior. In the future, he is planning on publishing a book about his marriage with Lenora.

“We had an idyllic marriage (for) 59 years,” says Holloman. “I’ve been given some time that she wasn’t. I have to use it constructively.”
