Malcom Kirk
Newly ordained minister Malcom Kirk is ready to do the Lord’s work in the place he’s most needed. Though he could have had the pulpit in any number of wealthy East coast churches, he chooses instead to minister in a lawless little western town that’s badly in need of a shepherd. The only question is, will Malcom make the journey west alone? Or will the woman he loves agree to marry him and take her place by his side?

A pleasant respite
I enjoyed the delightful message of this book - timely still today. And perhaps even more needed than when it was first published.

Great Historical Fiction
After reading this book, I appreciate so much more the sacrifices made to bring the Gospel to the old West. I better understand prohibition and the heartbreak of ruined lives due to alcohol and the strength and conviction it takes to make a moral stand against such things. The author was a wonderful, godly man.

I read Born to Serve by this author, and enjoyed it very much. This book was equally enjoyable, with a similar message about loving the people God puts in our lives and how we can influence them for his good. A truly delightful story.

I enjoy Charles M. Sheldon's books so much
I'm trying to read all of this authors books. They are old fashioned Christian books. Much as it was when I was a girl. If you enjoy Grace Livingston Hill you will surely enjoy Charles M. Sheldon's books.
