What Would Granny Say?

This collection of faith-based essays is authored by South Carolina United Methodist pastor the Rev. Tony Rowell. For decades, Rowell—a mission trip leader, songwriter, photographer and storyteller—has made it his passion to experience, gather and share stories of the Lord at work in big ways and small. Now, a lifetime of memories is offered in one collection of 79 essays. From fishing with his granny in the Florida Panhandle, to stumbling into boars and bear alike in the Carolina wilderness, to ministry in Bolivia, Colombia and Latvia, Rowell weaves beauty with simplicity and good old-fashioned humor. His photographs of both nature and people are peppered throughout, along with a healthy dose of Granny’s wisdom, prompting the title. (2020)
