Dr. Ted Ary has a unique ability of describing life in the South while living in the shadow of the Sunday sermon, delivered from a fiery pulpit to the congregation. Stories are transformed into anecdotes of church life as he tracks this culture and belief system through medical training and the uncomfortable dilemma of grief, sickness, the equality of people, all in relation to the Providence of God.
He practiced Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in South Georgia for forty years and is a writer, husband, father and most importantly, a grandfather. He maintains a blog: www.sundaygotomeetin.com From Prologue: Hellfire, Brimstone and Fried Chicken, Growing Up Churched in the South.
