Rev. Timothy Wright Autobiography Available

Rev. Timothy Wright completed his autobiography, Who’s Really on the Lord’s Side: Four Decades of Gospel Music Ministry in 2008, but the tragic July 2008 automobile accident that took the lives of his wife and grandson left the work’s formal launch on the backburner.

Making matters worse, Wright’s own injuries were so severe that despite all efforts toward recovery, the man known as “The Godfather of Gospel” succumbed earlier this year.

The book, published by Welstar Publications, is finally available for sale. I have not had a chance to read it cover to cover, but a quick review suggests that it will be an interesting and insightful read. It’s a mixture of stories of the gospel highway as well as Wright’s own personal philosophy of life. The appendix includes a discography of Wright-penned songs as sung by other artists as well as Wright’s own recorded output.

Although posthumous and therefore bittersweet, Who’s Really on the Lord’s Side preserves Rev. Wright’s legacy and history for all time.
