Excerpt from In the Potter's House
Tom Blanket gave a glance down the long tables as he lifted a quarter of a pumpkin pie on to his plate and attacked it vigorously with his knife. It was the ordi nation dinner, spread in the prayer-meeting room of Padanaram meeting-house. The tables were loaded with roast spareribs, chicken pies, pork tenderloins, baked beans, mince and pumpkin pies and great platters of brown, crisp doughnuts that dropped of the fatness of the land. The coffee 'was black and bitter; and the tea was blacker and bitterer.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader to a small 1850s farming community's struggle with the spiritual tribulations of life. The arrival of the newly ordained Reverend Simeon Craig brings with it the fervor of the latest revivals. While many within the community embrace his passionate sermons as a call to salvation, some remain unconvinced, including Barnaby, a young man who publicly rejects the strictures of the church. The resulting conflict unveils the silent struggles between faith and doubt, conformity and rebellion, within the hearts of the community members. As the story unfolds, these tensions grow, not only exposing the fragility of conventional piety but also the necessity of redemption in the face of despair. Sibling rivalry, isolation, and the pervasive influence of gossip bring the reader face to face with the challenges of living an authentic life. Ultimately, this book is an insightful exploration of belief, the human condition, and the transformative power of faith during a period of great spiritual upheaval. It is a timeless tale that resonates with readers of all backgrounds, reminding them that the quest for meaning and redemption is an eternal pursuit.
