Ronald “Dee” Vaughan, pastor of St. Andrews Baptist Church, Columbia, has published “Messages from Mayberry: Spiritual Life Lessons from My Favorite Episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.”

Ronald “Dee” Vaughan

The idea for the book began with the response the author received when using scenes from “The Andy Griffith Show” as sermon illustrations. Vaughan takes 26 episodes that offer clear life lessons and explores those truths through the lens of the Christian faith.

“Messages from Mayberry” is available at St. Andrews Baptist Church, Columbia, and at Amazon.com.
