Heaven for a Dime:Memoir of a Small Town Preacher

About the Book

A fascinating account of six years in the life of a pastor and his family, Inside History offers an insider's glimpse into one of the most interesting churches in the south. Humor, tragedy, crime and conversion are just a few of the elements of this narrative that make it a compelling read.

Written to provide primary source material for the cultural and religious history of the region, the book is also a frank description of how a minister and his family endured the public and private pressures of the ministerial calling.

Effective as a preacher and controversial as a leader, Dr. Moody is also exceptionally skilled as a writer, as this book will demonstrate. You will laugh and cry as you read his narrative of six years in the ministry.
