As the author recalls his life, his unique story-telling style, humor, and surprising detail, you will experience life in a church parsonage in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Along the way, the book details the history and practices and nuances of a specific Baptist denomination and its leaders. Through his life story, Paul Gauntt gives hope and encouragement to those who will come along in ministry in the years to come. Twists and turns, misgivings, mis-adventures, blunders, mistakes, tragedies, and triumphs were never a match for our sovereign, loving, protective God, who is deliberate and purposeful and alone gives meaning, joy, and purpose to a life.
