The Other Side of Forever

Winford R. Sturgill was born in Hazard Kentucky and spent his early years in a coal mining camp in Leatherwood Kentucky. He is the third generation in a family of coal miners. His family of eight lost their father to black lung at the age of 52. Winford has pastored several churches and is currently the assistant director at the Briggs Lawrence County Public Library. He graduated from the Ohio Christian University with a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministry. Winford also has a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling from the Olivet Nazarene University and a second Masters degree in Educational Technology from Ohio University. His new book, “The Other Side of Forever” gives some of the account of his life as he was growing up and having to experience hardships and the loss of his grandmother and father. The Other Side of Forever was written in hope that it would bring comfort to others who are struggling with loss and have a desire to know more about what the Other Side is going to be like for the believer.
