Adventures of a Methodist pastor: Personal narratives of events spanning sixty years and taking place in twenty-nine towns located in eight southeastern states. Eden was a perfect place with perfect people. The events in these narratives take place a long distance down the road from perfection. However, something good usually happens regardless of how far away from Eden the events occurred. The narratives are both church and non-church related, serious and humorous. Many of the stories have a unique twist which makes them almost unbelievable.
