Review: Savored this book. Came here looking to see if there is another, but alak and alas, it does not look like there is.

Summary: Great unique gift book!
Review: This hard-to-find book is a gem. It's upbeat, encouraging, thought-provoking, gently written. Old-timey language mixed with blunt modernisms is fun. Perfect for picking up now and then for a quick, light read. An enjoyable and unique gift; no other quite like it.

Review: This is probably my second favorite book of all time. (The Bible is #1.) My husband and mother love it too. A collection of funny, touch your heart, wise short stories that were originally written for a newspaper column. A great gift for your pastor and friends. Most of these stories have been published under the two titles: The Millionaire and the Scrublady and Parables of a Country Parson.

Review: William Barton took everyday incidents from his own life and wrote about them with warmth and wit. He used mock Elizabethian language to create an atmosphere all his own. He was Safed the Sage, his wife was Keturah, and his grand daughter the daughter of the daughter of Keturah. These three characters appear regularly in the pithy little stories. Barton was meditaiting on life from a Christian perspective. He is never preachy but writes with real insight. These stories can be read aloud or silently over and over again. The book makes a wonderful gift, especially for those who are not great readers.
