About The Author
Rev. Dr. Errol E. Leslie
Founding pastor of Grace and Mercy Ministries Inc.
He is originally from Jamica and in August of 1995 along with his family he immigrated to the USA . Prior to that, he had worked as a Methodist minister in the Caribbean. After transferring to the United States, he continued his ministry at five separate congregations within the United Methodist Church in the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida. Early in his life, he found that he had a natural and innate love for music and drama. Over the duration of his ministry, he wrote several plays and skits with a Christian message. Among these productions are two full-length Christmas musicals which are based on the Christmas narrative as we know it from the Bible, but he added some imaginary scenes and characters which are not detailed in the biblical narrative.
He is also a singer and a self-taught musician with the gift of being able to play several musical instruments. As such, for a long time, his family participated in a reggae gospel music ministry where they were able to minster in song to several audiences all over Jamaica and in several states within the USA. During the process, they were able to release three separate musical CDS. More recently, he also released a solo acapella album comprising older gospel songs. For this project, he was able to use what he deems to be his God-given gift of creating harmony to lay several separate vocal tracks using only his voice. The net effect is that on the project, he created the feel of an all-male acapella group using just his voice alone. This latest acapella CD is titled “The Old Time Religion” and is available on all the major musical platforms including Spotify, iTunes, Apple, and Amazon. He received his BA in theology from the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Kingston, Jamaica, in 1978 and his Doctor of Ministry (D Min) from Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia, in 1991. He has written two separate books, and both were triggered or inspired by different events in his life. His latest book is the first in a series entitled CHRISTIAN BIBLE DRAMA SERIES.
