The Call to Pickings: An Adventure with Abba Father

"An incredible read. I laughed, wept, and was encouraged to keep on keeping on." -Brother Roy Ford, Fifty-five years and counting as a pastor of Southern Baptist Convention churches

A formidable foe, entrenched in the town's most prominent family attempts to thwart their every effort. Darby had been warned that being a pastor can sometimes be tougher than being a police officer. He believes that God equips whom He calls -- wills those words of faith prove true?
