How did a kid who didn't know much about anything become a clergyman in a Canadian church denomination? What did it take to do that? What kind of things did he do right and what did he do wrong? Find out what worked and what didn't. Get an insider's view of what goes on in an organized religion. Get a picture of how a few different congregations dealt with the challenges they faced in a very changing rural and urban landscape. Meet some unique characters who did more than just try to get by, and did a lot to make their communities worth living in. Those who go to a church will get a greater idea of what goes on in the heads of some clergy with whom they associate. Persons interested in the field of human development may find the first part of this book written in the words, spirit, and tone of a child, then an adolescent. In the second part of the book, find the language, tone, and thoughts of a maturing person taking on the role of an adult seeking answers to the big questions of life: Where did I come from? Why am I here? And to what end? Anyone interested in areas such as Canadian history, sociology, social psychology, philosophy, religious studies, group leadership will find this useful. Find within a candid, open, and honest look at one who offers here what many can relate to and or connect with as complex individuals trying to make sense of it all.
