Description: "James O. Chatham, a Presbyterian minister who served several congregations during four decades, witnessed a full spectrum of Southern types during his years in the pulpit. He met all kinds, and he strived to minister to each with a compassionate, pastoral hand."--BOOK JACKET. "In Sundays Down South: A Pastor's Stories he recounts experiences with people who were both heroic and pathetic, wise and foolish, visionary and blind."--BOOK JACKET.

"He preached in a variety of southern locales - a paper-mill town in the mountains of western Virginia, two small communities in southwestern Mississippi, a tobacco town in Piedmont North Carolina, and a city on the edge of Kentucky's bluegrass region. The people he encountered in his pastorates are flawed but charming, even admirable in some instances."--BOOK JACKET.
