Making a strong case for a revival of the classic literary art form of ballads, comes a beautifully illustrated book of Christian ballads, poems and prose, "Miracle in a Small Mountain Town" written by Florida author, Allen Autry and published by Copperfield Publishing. The subject matter shows the power of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. The stories are mostly taken from true-life events. The themes reflect real life events with underlying Bible verses to support the themes of the stories. The beautiful color illustrations by American artist James Williams superbly capture the spirit of the author's work.
Dr. O. S. Hawkins, Baptist minister and noted author, writes the introduction to the book. Dr. Hawkins, retired pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas (the nation's largest Baptist church) is now president of the Southern Baptist Annuity Board. Dr. Hawkins says of Autry's effort, "I am enthralled by the writings", saying that the author "writes not simply from his hand, nor from his head, but especially from his heart"

This collection of verse was inspired from occurrences in the spiritual life of myself and others. This world which God has created for us is most often filled with the conflicting emotions of both sorrow and joy. Many times, events in our lives seem like a two sided coin mirroring both of these two emotions. God?s spirit within us makes the heartaches bearable and the joys intense!
Allen Autry
