“The Testimony of a Giant” Artists Records Southland Baptist Temple, Peducah, Kentucky
“I would like to introduce to you, Donny Osm… no… MAX PALMER. Max was born in the State of Mississippi in 1929. His father and mother were of ordinary size. He is 7 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 385 pounds and wears a size 21 shoe. He has been a professional wrestler. He wrestled under the name of Paul Bunyan. Made two movies, “Invaders From Mars” and “Killer Ape”. Max says he is not sensitive about his size. ‘The Lord made me this way to serve Him.’ He was converted to Christ in Oklahoma City after an accident in the year of 1958. Was baptized into the membership of a local Baptist Church. Since that time, he has become a great witness and a testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ. He loves the Lord with all his big old heart and serves Him faithfully wherever he goes. He is in great demand in churches and various organizations to give his life story and testimony. I am sure the desire of his heart, after you have heard his testimony on this record, that you would pass it on to someone else. He is truly a “Giant” of a man both physically and spiritually.”
