Western Oklahoma author and 1974 Mangum High School graduate Tom Spence will be signing his books at El Charro on Friday, 27 May 2016 from noon to 2:00 p.m.
His newest release is Acceptance of Authority. This is the book that will change America. This is the book that will reduce prison populations and increase graduation rates. This is the book that America has been begging to be written.

Tom will
also have a variety of his books published by Tate Publishing. Two of the most
hard-hitting books, especially for those in western Oklahoma, are Throw Away Kids and PoMo Poverty. In these companion selections,
Tom goes beyond identifying society’s problems; he brings us to solutions that
don’t wait on the government to fix or ignore the problems.
Tom is an
ordained minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the pastor of the congregation in Burns Flat, Oklahoma.
As a pastor,
he returned last summer from his second trip to Africa to train pastors and
church leaders in Kenya and Uganda. He
has served as moderator of the Red River Presbytery but perhaps is best known as
the guy who gives out wristbands that read:
GOD LOVES YOU – LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
He is a
retired U.S. Marine Corps officer that served in all four Marine Divisions,
including a tour training reservists. He
has served in Iraq and Kuwait, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, aboard Marine
bases on the east and west coasts of the United States, and has a substantial
amount of service afloat. His final tour
was as a program manager in charge of maintenance and modifications of Marine
Corps ground training systems and simulators around the globe.
Tom served
as both student and instructor at the Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia—the
Crossroads of the Corps, and proudly boasts that he successfully avoided a tour in
the Pentagon for his entire career. Tom
wrote two books specifically about the Marine Corps. The first was a first person collection of
observations and anecdotes titled Sea Stories. The other was Christianity for Marines.
Tom will
also have with him, two unique books with fast moving dialogue where two men—The Conversation—and two women—Going Up—drop their defense mechanisms and
actually talk about important things.
Please join
Tom on Friday, 27 May 2016, buy a few books, get something to eat, and enjoy
your alumni weekend.
