The first in a series featuring small-town North Carolina pastor Charlie Odel and the struggles he faces in everyday life as he strives to serve his fellow humans and the Lord. Full of stereotypes who act contrarily to stereotypical behavior, this novel demonstrates the extraordinary nature of everyday people and the struggles they face in daily life. It raises questions we all should ask in our daily attempts to live life."The Road to New Hope" builds in intensity as it proceeds, reaching the point where you won't want to put it down until after you have finished reading the conclusion. A well-written look inside average-people's minds as they deal with average everyday problems, the type of which consume so much of our lives. A can't-miss summer reading pleasure.
