Jacob's Bells (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986674537)

Obadiah (Obie) Gainsworthy enjoys a tranquil lifestyle with his wife, son, and daughter in the little Adirondack village of Stafford Rest. He struggles, however, with indecision about whether to continue full-time writing or accept the pastorate of Stafford Rest Methodist Church-until he is challenged by a respected peer to "pick up" his cross. But answering that call means taking on a role for which he feels inadequate. It also means dealing with disaffected members who will want him gone. Adding to his difficulties is the shaky relationship with his influential mother-in-law, a long-time member who once pronounced him "beneath" her family. This third volume of the Wine for Tomorrow trilogy brings to a close Obie Gainsworthy's sagawhich began in the Adirondack Mountains during the Depression and spanned three wars, a failed ministry, a successful writing career, and finally a return to the place he had fled. There, he hopes to restore lost relationships and overcome his demons of hate and self-doubt.
