Lewis B. Smedes wrote a "pretty good book." Many of the chapters could stand-alone as essays. Because of my interest in family history and genealogy, I particularly liked the chapter titled, "Owning Our Own Stories." I paid ten cents for the book at the library bookstore in March 2007. I certainly got my money's worth.
