LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE

About the Book

Gene Burgess says, “My childhood ‘crimes’ never landed me in jail. However, it was on my travels to third world countries where I kept getting into trouble and could have landed in jail many times.” This book chronicles the real-life experiences of a Memphis pharmacist who faces danger and forces of darkness as he travels to preach the gospel in out-of-the-way places around the globe.
