Philco
America used to be a very nice place, united and at peace. But God was asked to leave, and it’s never been the same.
In a mosaic of true moments wrapped in the warm jacket of imagination and memory, Philco invites readers back to the heart and innocence of an America as far removed from today’s reality as 78 rpm records and drive-in movies. But somewhere in each of us is a longing for those days in America when “Let me help you with that tire, ma’am” and “An honest dollar for an honest day’s work” was both said and meant.
Revisit America’s lost innocence with Philco as he is transported to a time and space where his identity is stripped away and he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. He finds himself anew in a world that is strangely familiar, but still nearly forgotten.

I have been utterly swept up by Mr. Mansfield's capturing of a time and place that is so mesmerizingly beautiful, I want to run there! There is such an authenticity to the author's writing... I fell in love with the characters and I felt an urgent longing for such a place to be real again! Lovely book, awesome work. I am loving it!

Found this book to be very "God" centered. Thought it would be a lovely book about times gone by when the world was a better place. The stories were lovely, most about people who overcame hard times just by being good people but then it started getting very heavy with "find the Lord" and being saved etc. etc. so thus my 2 star rating.
