Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fear God in Your Own Village
Here is the true story of an attempt to put the fear of God into an American rural com munity; that is, to bring order out of the chaos of its social and civic affairs, to put pride and co-operation in the place of suspicion and individualism, to make narrow prejudice and plain cussedness give way to sympathy and unselfish service.
Perhaps it will do you good - but it Wasn't written for that purpose. It was written largely to explain to my Wife Why I am so frequently late to meals and why I have not Spent more evenings in her dear presence.
