by Harold Bell Wright (Author)
In this classic Christian Western novel, a stranger brings a message of forgiveness to a remote community in the Ozark mountains.
The Shepherd of the Hills tells the classic tale of a stranger who takes the Old Trail deep into the Ozark mountains, many miles from civilization. Learned yet melancholy, he spends his days tending local sheep. And though he lives apart from the townsfolk of Mutton Hollow, he is a friend to one and all. As the story of his tragic past comes to light, so do the lessons of grace and forgiveness bestowed upon us all by the true shepherd. First published in 1907, The Shepherd of the Hills became an instant bestseller and was later adapted into a classic film starring John Wayne and Harry Carey.Author Biography
Harold Bell Wright, born in Rome, New York, in 1872, did not lead a life of luxury. He was a self-taught man who had to overcome many challenges, including his constant fight against tuberculosis. While still young, Wright traveled extensively. Being a religious man, he decided to spend his time as a traveling minister, eventually settling down with permanent churches in Missouri, California, and Kansas. His religious practices led him to write the first of many books, all of which address particular problems. His main goal for writing lay within his desire to write about the goodness of mankind. He has an extensive written legacy that shows itself through his many books, including The Uncrowned King, The Eyes of the World, When a Man's a Man, The Re-creation of Brian Kent, Helen of the Old House, The Mine with the Iron Door, A Son of His Father, God and the Grocery Man, Long Ago Told, Exit, Ma Cinderella, The Devil's Highway, and The Man Who Went Away. Harold Bell Wright died in 1944; however, his spirit will forever live on through his writing.
