Book Synopsis Mountain Preacher Stories by : Ben C. Fisher
Download or read book Mountain Preacher Stories written by Ben C. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of forty years, Ben Fisher collected stories illustrating the humor of the Southern Highlander. English, Scotch, Welsh, and Irish immigrants to the Appalachian region of North Carolina brought with them a rugged individualism and a sense of humor and dignity which have been characteristic of the sturdy yeoman farmer. Most mountain preachers and many of the old time mountaineers had a real talent for telling stories. While the "tall tale" is a staple of mountain storytelling, more often the tales relate to something that happened, not something just dreamed up. Mountain humor, like all folk humor, typically arises out of a life situation. Fisher's work, edited by his wife Sally following his passing, relates many of the stories and tales that he had heard over the course of his life.

Book excerpt: Many clergy receive little training in the arts of preaching and it is assumed that they will learn by gaining experience. The renowned American preacher Herbert O’Driscoll suggests that congregations do not want to be given a map showing them how to get to the coast, they want to be drenched in the spray. Narrative preaching is a means of achieving such immediacy. By dramatic story-telling, it invites listeners into enter the text imaginatively and enables them to experience sermons as transformative events. This book aims to provide not just a theoretical introduction, but a resource that uses sermons in the narrative style to reflect on how to prepare and construct them and how to deliver them effectively in the context of worship.

'I doubt it, Pete, ' I replied. He mumbled some doubts about his religious choices. As Keith began his descent, we approached what appeared to be a field. It's amazing how many things look the same in the dark when you're flying at 120 m.p.h. A nice selection of insects suddenly splattered on the windshield - a fate we seemed destined to share. Suddenly, the airplane lights picked up a new shape, a shape that grew clearer each moment. 'What in the world ... it looks like ... must be ... a TREE!' Keith performed a hammerhead roll that made my eyes sink down to my navel. behind me, Pete was now on his knees confessing his sins with tears and anguish. Keith's mumbling about going down in a blaze of glory didn't help. On our third attempt, we reached the ground in a flurry of dirt and grass. When the plane finally stopped, Keith was on the floor, Squirrel was navigating, the dog was chewing my gum and Pete announced he had decided to enter the ministry.

Book Synopsis A Preacher's Tales by : Henry A. Buchanan
Download or read book A Preacher's Tales written by Henry A. Buchanan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Preachers Tales is a book about preachers who are unusual, sometimes eccentric people. Buchanan is one of them. In fact, a little bit of him is to be found in many, if not most of them. Buchanan is tolerant of all of them, and a few of them he even loves, or likes because they are so much like him. The prime redeeming feature in all of them is humor. Some of the things the preachers do and say are downright funny, but mostly the humor is subtle and only crops up after the reader has read and thought and reflected on what happened and what was told. Its not all humorous. Preaching is a serious business. The Preacher deals with a profound issue. He is holding Gods Hand with one hand and a mans hand with the other. What the preacher says and does may determine the course of human events because in some measure it reflects or communicates the mind and the saving grace of God. Behold here the Preacher Man at work and at play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1861, fifty-one-year-old Rev. Francis Springer enlisted in the Union army. The following spring, Springer, a friend and one-time neighbor to Abraham Lincoln, rode away with the 10th Illinois Cavalry. A witness to the Battle of Prairie Grove (December 1862), Springer was later named post chaplain at Fort Smith, where, in additon to preaching and ministering to the troops, he was placed in charge of refugees—widows, orphans, and contrabands—the displaced victims of virulent guerrilla warfare in Northwest Arkansas. Springer also wrote articles and columns in the Fort Smith New Era under the pseudonym, “Thrifton.” Springer’s honest appraisals of life in the Army of the Frontier make for fascinating reading, and his unique perspective as moralist, educator, and journalist provide new insight into the Civil War and how it was fought in the West. The book includes several never-before published photographs and appendixes which feature accounts of six military executions that Springer participated in as a Union Army chaplain, the hitherto unpublished last letters home of two rebel soldiers condemned and executed at Fort Smith, as well as a eulogy for Abraham Lincoln.
