A Memory of Firelight: Selected Columns from the Lexington Herald-Leader

Book by Prather, Paul

"Paul Prather won me as a reader when he courageously opened the lives of his family to teach us about tragedy, struggle and hope. With this collection of his columns, Paul offers us many lessons, told from the vantage point of an honest and wise teacher who has an unusual talent for making great truths accessible and understandable."
-- Marilyn Thompson, The Washington Post

"One of Paul Prather's gifts is the ability to see the other person's point of view without sacrificing his own spiritual value system. I've heard it referred to as having an educated heart." -- Jack Pattie, WVLK radio talk-show host.

"To read Paul Prather's essays of religion and spirituality is to feel consoled. You may not always agree with him--Paul's opinions are independent to a fault, constrained by neither conservative, liberal, nor moderate religious viewpoints--but you will find assurance in the sincerity and intelligence with which Paul explores the difficult questions and worries that we all struggle with as individuals, as members of our communities, and as fellow human beings." -- Chris Holbrook, author of Hell and Ohio and Upheaval
