Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Minister Calvin Allen. I am the author of two Christian Nonfiction Books. I write Christian true stories because of the need for rest and peace in our world. My books speak on Go’s grace and mercy, and how He has promised to save even the lowest of the lowest–those whom many have labeled castaways. I am a graduate of Suny Ulster College, where I received my associate in Human Services, a graduate of Valor Christian College where I graduated and received my degree in theology, and presently enrolled in a Bachelor’s Program at Mercy College, where I will also pursue my Masters in Sociology/Psychology Degree.
I am a member of the Ellenville Pastoral Team at Ellenville, NY, where I make a regular visit to pray for the ill and the families. My idea of life is to bring happiness and joy to as many lives as possible, giving back what has been so freely given to me.
