From the Model T to Mars tells the story of Billy Don (Bill) Sherman's life and sixty-six-year pastoral ministry. It is a journey filled with triumphs and trials along with a hearty side of laughter. In these pages, Dr. Sherman traces the origins of his values to his family as he grew up during World War II. His time at Baylor University, where he was a star football player, along with his studies at Southwestern Seminary gave him the foundation for a meaningful ministry. He then recounts his journey as a pastor, leader, and father, first in Texas and Oklahoma and then in Nashville, Tennessee.

During his thirty-year ministry at Woodmont Baptist Church, Dr. Sherman became a household name in Tennessee as Woodmont's services were broadcast across the state on local television. As a pastor, he forcefully advocated for racial equality during the Civil Rights Movement, pushed the church to historic missions endeavors, and fought to preserve true Baptist principles. Tennessee Governor Ned McWherter called Dr. Sherman "the conscience of Middle Tennessee."
