Call to the Blue Ridge

Breaking with tradition, Matthew and Helen Slater leave city jobs to accept the pastorate of a small church in the mountains of North Georgia. Among the church members and townspeople they encounter are Tommy Jones, a young veteran dealing with the aftermath of war; Pa and Ma Mac, a beloved elderly couple; Paula Mason, a graduating nursing student; Ben and Bart, the "hell-raisers" of the county; the hermit, Ole Silas, whose past and present are shrouded in mystery; and Robin, a beautiful "Little Yankee" in a wheelchair. As characters blend like colors on a canvas, you will experience the tragic, the comical, the intriguing, and the inspirational. Chapters of love and tenderness interspersed with hunting, fishing, and hiking make this a must-read for male and female alike. Such is the enduring essence of the human spirit, which continues to inspire the call—the Call to the Blue Ridge.
