Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian
I’ve had the chance to read Herrick Kimball’s newest book, Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian.. First off, let me say that this book is well worth reading whether you are a seasoned agrarian or someone you wants to understand agrarianism. The essays in this book provide the reader with vivid, wonderful discriptions of the experiences that come with living close to the land. While I had read most, if not all, of the essays before, I had no problem reading them again. Some people have a gift for comunicating with words on paper. Herrick Kimball has that gift. To those who don’t understand the way we are drawn to this kind of life, Herrick explains it in a plain, yet elequent way. Though the book is not an exaustive explaination of Christain Agrarianism it does define and defend it in way that is not “scary and over the top”. It gently teaches the reader enough to make them want learn more, and is in my opionon an excellent introduction to agrarain thought. Writings of a Deliberate Agrarian deserves a place on every bookshelf. You will blessed and refreshed as you stroll through the Kimball garden or pull chicken heads off with Herrick. Homeschoolers will also find value in it, as way to teach the little ones “how to write something worth reading”.

Hi Scott,
I like your new blogging format. What blogging software are you using?
We have had some rain, but need more. We will be praying for more rain in your neck of the woods.

I enjoyed the book. “Well Worded”……on 2nd look I can see no one would call it “Well Spelled”
