The Calling of Dan Matthews

By: Harold Bell Wright

Narrated by: David Sharp

This is a story about a young man's journey into manhood and the discovery of his true calling in life. The story asserts the essential human right of each person to determine the course his or her life should take. But sometimes civilization gets in the way and lives don't unfold naturally. It is the backwoods nobility of big Dan Matthews, his gentle dignity, innocence, and powerful presence, as well as the love and admiration of a beautiful young woman, which ultimately sets things right in this wonderful story of the Ozarks.

It plays like a Western

It was an entertaining listen. Lots of likeable characters. The language and style were a little archaic. But I enjoyed.

Starts a little slow,....

.....but builds to quite a sastifying climax, well worth the trip to a world that is no more.

review

great book, thought provoking message for Christians...even with the dated language well worth the time

a wholesome story

I was hesitant to start the second story to "the sheoard of the hills" but am happy I did. The Calling of Dan Matthews, is truly lovely and made for an enjoyable listen

The Way It used to be

this book sends me back to a Time I wish still existed. just makes me feel good
