So Tales

"Is that a so tale?" the author's mother would ask when he repeated an anecdote or used a funny story. It was her way of asking if it were true. This collection of 200+ true stories using wit, wisdom, and humor reveals a Southern lad with English roots who grew up hard, who missed his father dearly, and who was surrounded by a loving family. Grouping the book into four sections: 1. Grandparents, Childhood, and Cousins; 2. Courtship, Marriage, and Relatives; 3. Domestic and Foreign Travel; and 4. Preachers and the Ministry, the author passes on to this and future generations a rare brand of insight learned from the daily events experienced as a child, a youthful minister, and a man. It's a good read that will make you laugh, sometimes cry, but leave you wiser than before.
