Cordell grew up in a strict Pentecostal family and church. Where he was baptized and also received the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately, he was in a house that was a fire that took his brother's life. Cordell was 18 and his brother was 19 years old. They were trapped upstairs. Where Cordell jumped out of the window. But praise God his brother was a child of God. Also, his parents unfortunately lost 5 boys in a fire before Cordell and his siblings were born. Sadly he started hanging with the wrong crowd and was sent to prison for 5 years. Where the Lord touched and inspired him to start writing. And now he knows and loves doing God's will for him.
