OT - A couple of books some might enjoy reading

[AmBraCol]

I recently received a couple of books in the 'mail. "Bible In Pocket, Gun In Hand" and "The Man Who Moved A Mountain" They are (or were) both available via amazon.com's used book section. The first is an account of religion on the US frontier. It makes for interesting reading even though I don't agree with all the author's assertions. It reminds me a lot of our current local religious scene... And then there's "The Man Who Moved A Mountain" which is a biography of Bob Childress who was born and raised near Buffalo Mountain in Virginia. The conditions mentioned were similar to those where I was raised, though in a different decade and on a different continent. Anyway, there's plenty of cogitation material in both of them.

AmBraCol,
The book titled "Man Who Moved A Mountain" is about my relatives. As a fellow Christian, I'm sure you will enjoy some of the solutions Bob Childers comes up with for the problems he faced. I won't spoil it for you--you'll just have to read it.

Done did finish it. Will re-read eventually. Good story.

One of my favorite parts was when his kid threw a shoe out of the train window. Bob took the other shoe and threw it out saying, "One shoe is not much good without the other."

So where can we get the book?

Rusty, I went to Amazon.com and did a search for the titles. They are connected to a wide variety of used book stores. I picked them up for a couple bucks apiece plus shipping. My copy of "The Man Who Moved A Mountain" was printed back in '70 or so, but is in excellent shape.
