Synopsis
This volume features the first three novels published by best-selling American writer of fiction, essays, and non-fiction during the first half of the 20th century, Harold Bell Wright. He became the first American writer to sell a million copies of a novel (The Shepherd of the Hills, included in this volume) and the first to make $1 million from writing fiction.More than 15 movies were made from his stories, including Gary Cooper's first major movie, The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926) and the John Wayne film, The Shepherd of the Hills (1941). Beginning with That Printer of Udell's, this former pastor attacked the hypocrisy and impractical nature of popular churches. To Wright, hard work, integrity and concrete efforts to aid people in need were far more important than church doctrines or sermons. He continued with the subject in THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS, first novel ever to sell over 1 million copies, and THE CALLING OF DAN MATTHEWS, which told the story of a young preacher who, like Wright, resigned from the ministry in order to retain his integrity.
