The mystery has been solved. Though I think Elsa would really like All over but the Shoutin’
Jeff is the GM of a local Christian radio station, The Joy FM, and is, according to another friend who just found out that I know Jeff, famous.
Jeff denies the fame, but famous or not, his friendship has been a rich blessing to me over the years. Besides our shared love for Christ, for barbecue, for music, and for baseball, Jeff has been responsible for passing a number of good book recommendations my way, including, significantly, A Scandalous Freedom: The Radical Nature of the Gospel
Thanks, Jeff, for being my friend, and for putting me on to this book!
[It does turn out, though, that Elsa DID make this recommendation at about the same time as Jeff’s, which led me to lump them together: Salvation on Sand Mountain: Snake Handling and Redemption in Southern Appalachia

Did you know All Over… is also a movie? When I got to the library to pick up the requested item, I learned that by mistake I'd ordered the movie. Left the two volume videos there and will wait for the book.–ae

That's odd… IMDb doesn't show any movie for it. I believe what you must have been handed was the sound recording, probably a box or two full of cassette tapes. Glad, though, to hear you are going to read it. Let me know what you think.
