With a compelling mixture of humor and insight, Moody offers his reflection on religion and American life. Standing at the intersection of the public and the private, and speaking with authentic faith unfettered by fear, Moody offers words of clarity and compassion about some of the more troublesome issues of our time. Many readers will find this collection of newspaper columns most refreshing. "This book of short essays transports the reader into the realm of life's rhythms and every day surprises, writes Bob Mong, president and publisher of the Dallas Morning News in the preface. Moody's stories are not soggy and sentimental. There is fire and pathos intermingling naturally, with passages of love, forgiveness, and tenderness. Moving easily from the personal to the public, Moody offers a word that needs to be heard--"at times powerful and prophetic--"but also pastoral, often poignant, and always with a view toward the common good. Moody speaks to a broad range of topics--"books, family, church, friends culture--"with titles like "Did Jesus Know about Jabez?," "One Hell of a Prayer," "Survival, Guide for Orthodox Churches," "I'm in the Jailhouse Now," "Autism and Easter," and "Howard Finster--"Man of Visions." Moody describes candidly the joys and sorrows that have come his way and how the simple gifts of faith hope, and love have served as sources of both endurance and delight. Do not be surprised if these stories do not warm your soul even as they inform the mind.

Heaven for a Dime

Memoir of a Small Town Preacher

By: Dwight Allan Moody

A fascinating account of six years in the life of a pastor and his family, Inside History offers an insider's glimpse into one of the most interesting churches in the south. Humor, tragedy, crime and conversion are just a few of the elements of this narrative that make it a compelling read. Written to provide primary source material for the cultural and religious history of the region, the book is also a frank description of how a minister and his family endured the public and private pressures of the ministerial calling. Effective as a preacher and controversial as a leader, Dr. Moody is also exceptionally skilled as a writer, as this book will demonstrate. You will laugh and cry as you read his narrative of six years in the ministry.

It's about Time

A Memoir of Ministry at Georgetown College

By: Dwight A. Moody

A college campus is a place like no other: students and faculty, academics and athletics, success and failure, learning and loving, happiness and heartache, promises and prayers, questions and answers. All this and more described here in the memoir of one person who as dean of the chapel lived through the highs and lows of college life for eleven years. Dwight A. Moody is an astute observer of life and a wonderful storyteller, as demonstrated in earlier books: Heaven for a Dime and On the Other Side of Oddville. You will enjoy his compelling mix of history, humor and the human experience with a focus on his role as professor, preacher and parent on the campus of Georgetown College in Kentucky. This collection of prayers, stories, sermons, and letters, together with his long and fascinating narrative, will take its place as an important addition to the history of Georgetown College.
