Evangelist Returns to His Roots, Telling Tale of His Own American Dream

Mobile, AL (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- John Hudson is a dying breed. In his memoir, Alligator John D: My Testimony, Hudson tells how he worked his way to success without even a high school diploma. This humble and humorous autobiography explores the mindset of mid-century America, a land recovering from war yet rich in opportunity, and pays homage to the American ideal of working hard to achieve goals.

Hudson's life exemplifies a constant search for purpose and defines success as a process, rather than a destination, that includes not only worldly but also spiritual prosperity. Hudson's decision to leave school at the age of 16, his enrollment in the military to serve in World War II, and his conversion to Christianity suggest a destiny he is meant to fulfill despite divorce, illness, and financial failure, speaking to those searching for a higher calling.

From the shipyards of Mississippi to alligator farming in Florida, Hudson is an indomitable American figure, a testimony of how stubborn persistence and faith in a higher power combine for professional success and personal peace. "Alligator John D," as he comes to be called, is a hero for every age and era.
