When Your Dad Is The Preacher, by Marcus T. Bentley
When Your Dad Is The Preacher: You might recognize someone. You might even be right. In this book, I’ll share pieces of my story—some mine, some shaped by people I’ve seen up close. There will be moments when you think you recognize someone, and you might even be right. But this isn’t about exposing anybody. Some stories are blended. Some details are softened. Some things are left unsaid on purpose. Not because they didn’t happen, but because not every truth needs a name attached to it. This is about the experience. The pressure. The identity that comes with being a preacher’s kid. And trust me... If you know, you know. If you don’t, you’re about to.

About the Author
Born in Albany, Georgia, Marcus T. Bentley is the son of a pastor and educator. He has a beautiful, loving, and supportive wife, Crystal, who has been his rock and unwavering motivation. He has two beautiful children, Alexander and Arianna.
From an early age, Bentley has always been a writer (his parents commonly saw books, poems, songs, and small plays all around the house). He always focused on impacting the lives of the people he met, no matter their status. Early in life, Bentley heavily pursued a career in music while working as a server and bartender. At the age of 25, Bentley worked as a kitchen manager at a popular chain restaurant for several years. He used his leadership skills to inspire others to perform at their best continually and always keep a laugh in their lungs. Years later, Bentley enlisted in the United States Army. As a highly decorated Human Resources Sergeant, he has helped multiple Soldiers enroll in school and pursue their personal and professional goals.
Bentley believes that even with hard work, without knowledge, many will never reach their true potential. The primary aim of any self-help book is to help as many people as you can, not impress anyone – or at least that is his perspective. His books are written to supply knowledge to those who might be uninformed about how some things work. If more failures gave speeches, there would be fewer failures. Because he has failed numerous times, he made a pact with himself to always tell THE SHORT VERSION, so people do not have to figure out things the hard way or read the long version. Read and Succeed.
