Preacher by Luther Butler, Laura Ware (Editor)

Library Journal

Hank is a winner: champion rodeo rider, high school and college athletic star, beloved son, and sweetheart of the beautiful and equally talented Sadie. Growing up on a ranch in eastern New Mexico, he attends college and turns to preaching, not so much because he feels a special calling--in fact, he's a nonbeliever--but because he's so good at it. Hank eventually becomes pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches in Texas, but underneath the successful and self-assured veneer he yearns to discover his true purpose in life. This story of a bull-riding preacher struggling to find himself features out-of-the-ordinary characters and settings. For larger fiction collections.-- Maria A. Perez-Stable, Western Michigan Univ.
