内容简介:
In Home to My Village, H. R. Barley, a pastor and master storyteller, takes us to the delightful small-town world of Pastor Karl Gerste. He and his friends, aSlappya Klahr, aHowdya Hiester, Ray aThe Phantoma Lycans, aHootiea Helsel, and aWinka Barlow, have known one another since they were little boys. When they were young, they dealt with the problems of boyhood. Now, they are adults and must contend with such serious concerns as the possibility of raccoons making a home in the chimney, evil elves playing tricks, a hobby that always goes awry, and the grim realities of middle age. Their attempts to find meaning in these and other struggles of their lives are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and always have subtle undertones of the values that make life bearableafamily, friendship and faith.
