In the summer of 1995, George Shamblin left a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, and a year-end bonus large enough to pay for three years of tuition, to enroll at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Though he experienced more than his share of challenges and setbacks over the next 25 years, it’s a decision he’s never regretted.
Since 2012, Shamblin has served as a pastor with The Center For Executive Leadership in Birmingham, Alabama — where he teaches Bible Studies, disciples others at various stages of spiritual growth, and maintains an active role in leading overseas mission trips . Also an adjunct professor at Birmingham Theological Seminary, Shamblin published his first book, The Relay, in 2020.
An avid outdoorsman, as well as a Master Gardener, George and his wife of 27 years, Jill, have four children — Sydney, Bailey, Miller, and George Jr.
I just finished reading the book THE RELAY. It is a book filled with a various biblical characters and describes their successes and failures. It is filled with great quotes and incredible stories of those who have run the race in our more modern times as well. Shamblin uses these lessons to encourage us to accept our responsibility and to entrust the faith and God‘s word to the next generation. He challenges us to endure the hardships and to continue to run the race before us. We will then be able to enjoy the fulfillment of completing our purpose and seeing and savoring our Savior one day. I encourage you to read the book, to run the race and to relay the truth to the next generation. Our world is depending on it.
George is a passionate evangelist. His passion comes through in person as it does through this book. We all sometimes need encouragement to be more active in sharing our faith. The Relay provides that much needed encouragement.
This book creates a sense of urgency for leaving a legacy. Will people know Christ by the way that I’ve lived my life? I hope so. George’s words are inspiring and relatable. I’m excited to share this book with my small group. Bravo, George!
