Real morality takes guts!

"Real morality takes guts." (p. 224). This is a profoundly moral book that is sorting out the choices people (especially men in this story) make. One can feel throughout the book that the author is coming from a deep sense of faith in religious, personal values long associated with simple working class, farm, rural, mountain people in the American South. "All the rustic learning in his growing years was to be anything but a fraud...A man's word was his sacred honor." (The passages of respect for women should be in schools for discussion with young people.) As we read this story, we too are gripped by a nostalgia to "drink from the old well the water that was magic with its power to restore feelings of well being." (p. 171). And there is poetry, "The murmur of pines in a summer breeze always seems to sing of eternity." (p. 243). With the scope of Biblican history, John Rice takes us from the ancient hills of Judea to Shands Cove in Southern Appalachia.
