This is a story of love, friendship, and class conflict, set in early 20th century America. A group of children from two families play in the yard and grow together as the financial gap between their parents grows. As one family gets richer and moves to the mansion, the ties between the children fade. Finally, they reunite in adulthood, and the classic opposition between the rich and the poor arises. As a boy from the rich house falls in love with the girl from the workman's house and his sister falls in love with the boy from the workmen's house, the conflict between the two families is set afire. Next, there is a strike, a murder, an explosion, and many more.
A best-selling writer of fiction, non-fiction, and essays during the first half of the twentieth century, Harold Bell Wright was a self-taught man who founded permanent churches in Missouri, California, and Kansas. He taught his religious principles through his many novels, which address moral and social problems. This trilogy gathers together for the first time Wright's three novels featuring the character Dan Matthews, based on Wright himself. The Shepherd of the Hills, originally published in 1907, is Harold Bell Wright's most famous work. The shepherd, an elderly, mysterious, learned man, escapes the buzzing restlessness of the city to live in the Ozarks. In the sequel The Calling of Dan Matthews, Dan Matthews becomes the new minister of the Midwestern town of Corinth. He battles his conscience about whether to be the spiritual puppet of the church elders or to prescribe a dose of heavy ministry to his ailing congregation. In the third novel, God and the Groceryman, Wright makes a plea for God's presence in all aspects of life and offers a criticism of churches run as morally bankrupt businesses. This novel is a call for the modern church to return to spirituality.
