" A classic: The Man Who Moved a Mountain does for the Blue Ridge what Mark Twain's tales did for the Mississippi. But much more than that, it offers Americans an authentic hero with a Daniel Boone brand of courage and an Abe Lincoln brand of humor. I defy anyone who starts reading it to put down this salty, swift-moving biography of an unknown gian who was born and lived among whiskey-stilling, trigger-happy mountaineers. It's a funny book, a moving book, and altogether true. It belongs in every hombe in America." Walter F. Mondale.
"How do you communicate the meaning of a human life? Editor-writer Davids accomplishes this difficult task with a book of exceptional strength and color. Readers will live in the special world of the Blue Ridge Mountains as the follow the career of the Reverend Bob Childress, who drove fifty thousand miles a year to serve fourteen churches and move whole communities closer to the Kingdom fo God. As one parishioner said at the funeral, 'He gave most of us all teh upright we ever knew.'" Christian Herald "This is a fascinating biography, a mobing portarit of a life that transformed a wild and rough mountain folk. Here truth is verily stranger than fiction, exciting, surprising, and utterly true....Mr. Davids has written a superbly vivid and gripping story." Presbyterian Outlook |
