Rick Shrader‘s Review:

If we all have peculiar interests, one of mine is collecting the 19 first edition books of Harold Bell Wright—the Ozark author of Shepherd of the Hills. The Shepherd was his second book, the first was That Printer, printed in 1903. It is a fictional, yet real life, story of a young man who comes to Christ because of the influence of good towns people and a good local church. He goes on to be a Christian leader and preacher. He even falls in love with the young lady who first witnessed to him! In our day of dubious fictional books, these would be a refreshing change!
