Everyone needs an old oak tree, a place where they can sit and ponder life. Author John Duncan found his. His reflections are captured in this volume that he calls the "Holy Fire, Faith, and Fables in the Stories of Life." These are the stories of everyday life, dissected to allow us to see God at work in the lives of each character.
John Duncan writes with a pastor's heart and a firm grasp of classic literature. You might see yourself in one of his characters, but you will undoubtedly see people you recognize. Perhaps they don't share the name of your acquaintance, but the resemblance to people in our life will be obvious. The thread running through each character is the hand of God. God is very much at work in our world, and His work is noticeable when we take the time to sit "Under the Old Oak Tree."
As you read "Under the Old Oak Tree," you will not only be introduced to people in John's life but also many of the great Christian thinkers through history. He is just as capable of parsing words from the Greek New Testament as he is of savoring the stories of his neighbors in the Horseshoe Bay Beacon. You will definitely meet Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard and come upon a few quotes from essayist and minister Frederick Buechner. John will even take you "across the pond," as they say, to his favorite place in Cambridge and let you hear from C.S. Lewis.
"Under the Old Oak Tree" will serve as a great devotional book to savor each morning from your own oak tree.
