"I'll go any place to give my testimony." -Gavin MacLeod

(Los Angeles, CA)—Those of a certain age will remember actor Gavin MacLeod as the handsome, silver haired, comically charming Captain Stubing of the hit televisions series "The Love Boat."

Now 82, MacLeod has just released a memoir entitled, "This is Your Captain Speaking: My Fantastic Voyage Through Hollywood, Faith & Life."

A Religious News Service report on the book's release states, "He writes about how his star-studded career was interspersed with a faith walk that began as a Roman Catholic, detoured through the New Age movement in the 1970s, and ended up firmly planted in the Pentecostal faith. That path included depression, alcohol and divorce, but he credits God's forgiveness with carrying him through."

In his book, MacLeod also details the amazing marital reconciliation with his second wife, which resulted in the couple co-hosting a "Back on Course" program for couples experiencing problems in the marriage.
