The Portable Pastor

Book excerpt: From the diary of Reverend Levi Mars comes this true and revealing story of a man who finally found himself and his purpose in life. After becoming an Ordained Minister, his superiors moved him from one problem church to another. He is amazed to learn how some of his church members live. He is confronted with problems he never dreamed could exist, but amid all the adversity, Reverend Mars experiences blessings almost beyond belief. The story is not simply a religious one, it is also a revelation of life itself. It is a story that will bring laughter as well as tears. The Portable Pastor story is supplemented with short stories, award-winning poetry, and a sampling of weekly newspaper articles written over the years by Jasper Cook. The articles were selected at random, and reveal a rare look at life in the early twentieth century.
