Samuel Lee Taylor served as Associate Minister at Lubbock Street Church of Christ in Texas, 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").

But, the catastrophic and life altering traumas he experienced in his personal life, unmercifully catapulted Samuel L Taylor into a disturbing "Twilight Zone" world and for more than 38 years, he struggled mentally, spiritually and emotionally to write, while painfully living, At The Mercy Of Faith!
