Websight Dedication

This websight dedicated to Bill Tuggle, who for over 5 years, single-handedly published and underwrote, at his own personal expense, "Spreading the Word" magazine. Bill presently lives at 950 Glendale Lane, Nashville, TN 37204. Phone Number: 615-383-1655. "Spreading the Word" magazine was unique in that 100% of its content was devoted to evangelism related topics. The magazine is a tribute to Bill's personal love and zeal for the lost. If you look very carefully at the seascape below, you may even see Bill "fishing for men." Will you join him with me, along with Jesus Christ, in the most exciting "sport" in the world!
