Samuel Lee Taylor served as Associate Minister at Lubbock Street Church of Christ in Lufkin, TX from 1980 to 1984. During this time, he wrote and published 2 gospel booklets ("Somebody Help Us Find the Way" and "What Choice Would You Make in a Slippery Situation?"), as well as recorded a gospel album ("What Train Will You Ride").

Trials and tribulations in his personal life inspired him to start writing At the Mercy of Faith. A screenplay more than 30 years in the works, At the Mercy of Faith is a highly visual and groundbreaking faith-based screenplay in the vein of “The Pursuit of Happyness” meets “Drag Me to Hell” in “The Twilight Zone.”
