Dr. Frank A. Godsoe was my great granddaddy. I remember his snow white hair, funny stories, and how he used to rock the grandbabies singing and old fashined tune we called “Bum de Bum.” One day I stopped by his daughter’s house, “Granny” to me, and they were cleaning. I hate to admit this, but they had thrown away a huge box of his sermons and other files. I rescued these from the curb and took them home. In this garbage bag I found jokes and newspaper clippings, and all of the files that he used in crafting his sermons. There was also a box of logbooks where he faithfully logged each hospital visit, evangelistic visit, and church meeting. There were also thousands of sermons written on every imaginable type of paper. Tiny scraps, envelopes and scratch pads. Dr. Godsoe was a walking sermon machine!

The crown jewels of my visit to Granny’s that day, however, were a set of twenty five or so hand-typed looseleaf notebooks. These books were written by Grandaddy while he was teaching a Sunday School class in his later years. As I read through these books, I realized what a magnificent contribution these books are to the body of Christ. This site is my gift to you that God may be glorified. I hope you will be encouraged by the sermons of Dr. Frank A. Godsoe.
