Review In this sequel to Wright's bestselling Shepherd of the Hills, Dan Matthews, son of Sammy and Young Matt, becomes the new minister of the Midwestern town of Corinth. The peaceful town is turned askew when the town's new nurse, the minister's romantic interest, comes to the aid of an outcast woman after her suicide attempt. Dan battles his conscience between his role as the spiritual puppet of the church elders and his strong desire to prescribe a dose of heavy ministry to his ailing congregation. -- From the Publisher
From the Back Cover
This sequel to Wright's best-selling Shepherd of the Hills follows the story of Dan Matthews, son of Sammy and Young Matt. As the newly appointed minister to the small Midwestern town of Corinth, Dan faces the challenge of uniting a community divided by the legacy of violence. He is outraged by the town's treatment of Grace Conner--rejected, humiliated, and held accountable for her father's crimes. Adding to the drama is Dan's increasing attraction to the town's new nurse, Hope Farwell, who also champions the scorned Grace. Dan wrestles with his conscience as his duty to the church elders conflicts with his desire to prescribe holiness and justice to his ailing congregation.The Calling of Dan Matthews is a timeless story based on the principles of neighborly kindness and community fellowship. First published in 1909, it depicts life in small-town America through the eyes of a rural minister. Harold Bell Wright's other novels, The Shepherd of the Hills, That Printer of Udell's, and The Winning of Barbara Worth are also available from Pelican.

25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Good Wright Book By A Customer A young, rookie, naive preacher comes to the Ozark town of Corinth to take the reins of the church. He was raised in the mountains and is a strong man. He quickly generates a rapport with the working class of the town. However, the church elders dislike him on account of his sermons drifting from the old "Jerusalem" stories they are accustomed. Instead, he preaches loving the down-trodden and the poor.The problem is that the church elders have reasons for disliking the people Dan preaches love for. The chief elder, a "Judge" Strong, collects property and would like to possess a widow's farm. Matthews, becomes friends with widow and a local female pariah (who's father shot the widow's husband), which angers the elders.The crux of this romance / western book is how much of an individual a minister is. To collect his salary, must he spout the elder's / church's law regardless of his moral feelings or does he have a right to disagree with the policies of the church? Ultimately, the church politics win and a great minister is forced back to his homeland (winning a bride in the process).This book was rather deep. There were many wise paragraphs involving the purposes of church and religion. I think Wright felt that a belief in God and a practice of his teachings were more important than going to church for the sake of going to church. Dan Matthews finds out the hard way that all people don't believe this and that some of the church's doctrines have ulterior motives.
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. An excellent heart warming book. By A Customer This book is eye opening to organized religion, but shows what true christianity is. Even though it takes place at the turn or the century or there abouts, its lessons pertain to life today.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Excellent expose on how ministers are often treated By A Customer This was my favorite. Things have not changed between the early part of the century and now with regards to how most ministers are treated by the congregation. It is truly sad but the things that bothered HBW when he wrote these books are still going strong today. I must read for all churchgoers.
