Summary

Have you ever had the pleasure of sitting through a Sunday morning church service? If so, have you ever laughed on the inside while watching one of your church's characters? Ever known a fellow like Elmer Sensabaugh, who wasn't afraid to dispense some old-fashioned discipline? Remember when someone handed you a pair of cardboard sandals and a bathrobe for the Christmas pageant? Don Reid, lead singer of the Statler Brothers, in the down-home style that made him a song-writing legend, is betting that you'll enjoy reminiscing about that country church you grew up in. Well, "betting" is a bad word; Miss Ora Hopkins wouldn't approve of gambling. Neither would Elmer. The stories in this book are uniquely Don's, but they're also yours. You'll laugh at his storytelling while tracing the memories that weave through your own mind and heart. This collection of stories from a simpler time will be remembered for a long time to come.
