Publisher's summary

A farmer went out to sow his seed. With these eight words, Jesus gives His church planting instructions still vibrant with meaning in this 21st century of satellite-guided tractors and wind farms. This colorful book by veteran radio scriptwriter David B. Smith shares fifteen fresh slices of truth about how we can relate to the four types of soil: pathway, stony, thorny . . . and sometimes good.

Smith, a recently retired math professor from San Bernardino Valley College, is a collector of spicy illustrations: West Wing, Law & Order, Everybody Loves Raymond. Linus, Lucy, and Charlie Brown. His beloved Dodgers and the Abe Lincoln candidacy of 1860. Nazgul invader birds from Lord of the Rings and Tom Hanks finding Meg Ryan at the top of the Empire State Building. The Lewinsky political scandal and rocker Little Richard. And all through his folksy teaching are poignant stories from his beloved childhood home of Thailand and humor bits from his college classes.

The Saga of Farmer Jesus gratefully draws from the good soil of Christian writers like Bill Hybels, Morris Venden, and C. S. Lewis. All through these pages, you’ll find joy in the challenge of spading up the rocky soil of your own heart.

David B. Smith is also author of the ten-book Rachel Marie series of Christian love stories set in Bangkok. Be sure to check out the first book in the series, Love in a Distant Land, which is also performed as a ten-hour audiobook by veteran performer Tonya Foster Yancey. You can find more details at his author web site, davidbsmithbooks.com.
