Great Find! Nice solid copy of"The Saint of the Wilderness" by Jess Carr, Commonwealth Press, C.1974....Ninth Printing 1979 Soft Cover. Special Motion Picture Commemorative Edition

"This biography of Robert Sayers Sheffey weaves the story of buy a unique man, the details of whose life entitle him to the mythical position he holds even today among the people of a part of the South, where, so many years ago, he traveled the circuits of Virginia, West Virginia, and into the fringes of other states, as an itinerant preacher. Here are documented his extraordinary gifts of exhortation, the depth of his caring about every single soul in the widespread territory he rode, on a brutally rigorous self-imposed schedule, as well as the unexplainable psyche and prophetic talents that truly earned him the title "Saint of the Wilderness". Mr. Carr's book tells in detail of this physically frail yet incredibly strong man and the demons with which he had to wrestle, his personal deprivations and sorrows and triumphs, the beauty of his love for all living things and the un-shakability of his faith and prayer petitions."
