Stone Palatin is married with four children and four wonderful grandchildren. He attended what was, at that time, the largest High School in Texas, and was very active in his church youth group. He felt the call into ministry the summer between his junior and senior year. That call prompted his father to accept Christ as his personal savior while changing Stone's life goals from football and pre-med to the ministry. After graduating from University in Abilene, majoring in Bible and Education while working in small country churches in Youth and Music Ministry, Stone attended Theological Seminary and continued to serve in ministerial positions. As the Minister of Education and Youth he won five awards for Church Growth; his was the second fastest growing church in the Southern Baptist Convention. While he wrote many short lessons and trade articles, he finally got to develop these stories about the pre-diluvian earth that he had rattling around his brain for all those years. His tour of duty into the spiritual lives of thousands of parishioners uniquely qualifies him to expose the spiritual warfare that goes on unseen all around us.
