CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Fort Campbell Soldier and local author Bradford Smith recently published his second book.
“No Higher Call” is intended “to draw attention to the issue of orphans and adoption.” Focusing on the issues of poverty, addiction, incarceration that orphaned children often deal with, the book challenges readers to take action.
Another work available from Smith titled “Scourge,” is also available for purchase. The book has been described as “an unprecedented, first-hand look into the harsh and gritty reality of addiction.”
Smith has been married to his best friend Ami since 2001. Together, they stay busy raising their nine children. A West Point graduate, Brad has served on active duty since 1995, with multiple combat tours to Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2007, he became a preacher and in 2011, he joined the staff at The Way, a Baptist Church in Clarksville, as the Missions Pastor.
In 2010, Brad and Ami opened the Clarksville Covenant House for teenagers who age out of the foster system, and in 2013, Brad graduated from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity.
Once the Army releases him from active duty, he plans to start a new baptist church and run the Covenant House full time alongside his wife.
