This book of poems takes the stuff of the oridnary and discloses how the common experiences of life reveal to us that we are living in "the townshipo of heaven." They were written while Puckett was serving as a Lutheran parish pastor. The author does not avoid the tough realities in the plodding day-to-day life of lcoal places and unsung pastorates. Here is honesty about the stress and fears alongside the hopes of everyday faith and church life.
