Strangers On The Earth

By John Cowart

John Cowart's collective biography, Strangers On The Earth, offers miniature portraits of about 20 people who were radically different from the rest of us, people I find to be among the most fascinating characters who ever lived. Some told about in these pages are well known. Others you may have never heard of before. Each one exhibits certain other-worldly characteristics and values which you may find attractive, funny or odd -- even repelling. Each of them acted out of place in this world, as though they were strangers here . Among those profiled here are Astronomer Johannes Kepler, Aristocrat Jeanne Guyon, Farmer Seth Hubbel, Physician Eleanor Chesnut, Explorer Christopher Columbus, Housewife Mary Rowlandson, Saint Patrick of Ireland, Missionary William Carey, and a host of others who lived indeed as strangers on this earth.
