Farmer, writer, and preacher-at-large for more than half a century, master storyteller Will Campbell offers a collection of thirty classic meditations challenging readers toward a more conscientious faith. With the soul of a true satirist, Campbell combines Scripture and homespun humor in a deceptively simple style that belies the seriousness of his intent: to deflate the pompous, indict the hypocritical, and expose the self-righteous.

History

World

Organized religion has taken on an increasingly disorganized, fractured appearance in the last few years. The faithful of many traditional denominations have been divided into warring camps. In The Convention, Will Campbell addresses the issues in the form of a parable, the oldest known form of storytelling. And Will Campbell unfolds her plan with vision and humor, evoking more than a few tears along the way. Whatever your religious persuasion, whatever your thoughts on God and on humankind, this story will intrigue you, inform you, and inspire you.

Brother to a Dragonfly

Seabury Press

"Will Campbell's description of his and his brother's childhood days evokes Mark Twain. The story of the two brother's adult life presents a complex and pained portrait of a Southern family, its hopes, tragedies, joys. Part biography, part philosophy, part sociology, and in all an anecdotal feast, Brother to a Dragonfly becomes in the reading of it a factor in all our lives." Jules Feiffer

There are few books these days in which one can exult. But Will Campbell has given us occasion for joy . . .This is history at its best because we find our roots in it, and fiction at its best because it contains great truths. - Bill Moyers
