A new edition of the moving drama of life in a rough 1880s mining town, which launched the writing career of early 20th century best-selling author Ralph Connor’s classic Black Rock edited by Michael Phillips.
Jim Craig is a frontier minister to the mining and lumber community of Black Rock—a man with a vision for seeing the Gospel change lives. But the men in town who make their living from whiskey are determined to fight Craig’s attempt at reform.
Meet Leslie Graham, Slavin, Idaho Jack, Sandy, Baptiste, and especially Mrs. Mavor, whose quiet loving influence had a greater impact on the community than many realized.
In the antebellum South, Richmond and Carolyn Davidson live lives of ease as wealthy plantation owners. But even though their wealth and livelihood depends on slave ownership, their Christian consciences speak against the practice.
When the Davidsons decide to follow their own moral judgment and God’s will by freeing their slaves, they face consequences they never could have anticipated. Risking their lives as an important link in the Underground Railroad helping runaway slaves escape to the Northern states, the Davidsons must rely on their wits—and God’s protection—to stay alive.
