J.B. Murry worked from childhood until age 65 as a sharecropper and tenant farmer in rural Georgia.  In the late 1970's, while under the care of a doctor for a hip problem, Murry had a vision which compelled him to "write in the Spirit" and spread the word of God.  Thereafter, he began producing page after page of this divinely inspired “spirit-script.”  A deeply religious man, he believed that his writings, produced while in a trance state, flowed from a direct communication with God.  Murry was  then able to interpret the sacred meanings by viewing the script through a glass of well water.
