| Description |
|
A continuation of the surprisingly popular John Ploughman's Talk, built around moral snapshots of life. While neither book is built around expositional study, they are written from the high morals of a godly pastor, in the common speech of a farmer, offering a glimpse at how a godly man views various aspects of life and living. |
