The Life and Times of Freddie the Frog tells the story of a boy who grew up in a small town in West Tennessee in the 1950s, beginning with his ancestral family line predating the Revolutionary War. The author tells of his progressive career from public accounting to a senior executive for NFIB, one of the most influential business organizations in the United States. He tells about his spiritual growth and development from a narrow-minded religious view to a more inclusive view, including attempting to desegregate a fundamentalist church in the 1960s. He tells of family, marriage, community involvement, retirement, and ends with quotations and valuable lessons learned.
