Donald Anderson has always done what he was told and always tried to be what his father wanted him to be. Up until a certain point in his life, he was living and breathing a culture he was never sure of, and he wasn’t sure of his prepared destiny. He would come home one day to a devastating scene—a scene that would cause his steps to take a different course, leading him from his calling as a preacher in small Bailey County to the restless streets of Salem City. There he would learn of a new life and culture with his estranged cousin, Rico Martin, the self-proclaimed slumlord, to guide him from one sin to the next and ultimately to his true self. He would learn more about himself living a life of sin as his father would put it, then living his whole life preaching the gospel back in Bailey County. Then he meets a young woman in Salem City who would raise many questions in him about what’s right and wrong in God’s eyes. She would help him to face the past he tried desperately to escape.

D. A. Carson's father was a pioneering church-planter and pastor in Quebec. But still, an ordinary pastor-except that he ministered during the decades that brought French Canada from the brutal challenges of persecution and imprisonment for Baptist ministers to spectacular growth and revival in the 1970s. It is a story, and an era, that few in the English-speaking world know anything about. But through Tom Carson's journals and written prayers, and the narrative and historical background supplied by his son, readers will be given a firsthand account of not only this trying time in North American church history, but of one pastor's life and times, dreams and disappointments. With words that will ring true for every person who has devoted themselves to the Lord's work, this unique book serves to remind readers that though the sacrifices of serving God are great, the sweetness of living a faithful, obedient life is greater still.
