Papa Was a Preacher

''Humorous, warm, witty...a runaway bestseller''

by

The life of a preacher and his family from his child's point of view.
''..abounding with goodness of spirit and humor..''--New York Times

Eight lively children running in and about the parsonage often add up to charming chaos, complete with hilarious tricks, mischievous pranks, embarrassing scenes and many tender moments. Here is a behind-the-scenes glimpse through the all-revealing eyes of the youngest daughter in Papa's big family. Read about courtships carried on behind Papa's back, little Paul's intense fear of the holy ''ghost,'' the bride who lost her petticoat, and many other irresistibly human and humourous events. From the first chapter to the last, here is a warm and witty picture of a father adored by his children and of a wonderful family life in American parsonage.''--Inside fr/cvr home-life
