Atkinson, more widely known to his online readership as The Preacher , discovered blogging as a relatively anonymous way of telling his stories and conveying his uncensored take on things. [return][return]Within months, his readership skyrocketed. People who found him can t help but tell their friends, regardless of religion, to come and read the blog of this preacher who can make us look again at simple things that we take for granted, or tickle us with tales of evicting a raccoon from his chimney. [return][return]Most of all, they can t help but share with others on how unpretentious this man of God is. Atkinson is frank with his own very human struggles with faith and God, and a lot of his reflections or observations have a tendency of punching readers in the gut when they recognize how they ve felt the same or it has happened to them before.[return][return]This book is a collection of his finest online essays as well as several more never published online. The good news is that you don t have to buy this book to sample his writing. Just look it up online.[return]return
