Hill Of Grace By Stephen Orr
William, the main character, sets out to convince his neighbours that they need to join him in preparation for the End. Arthur Blessitt, a Valley pioneer in floriculture, helps William deliver pamphlets and organise rallies. Others join the group but as the day approaches, their faith is tested. The locals of Tanunda become divided. Did William really hear God's voie on the Hill of Grace? Did God tell him to preach the End of Days? Or is William really deluded?
The greatest test of all for William is whether Blumas and nathan will support him. As the seasons pass in the Valley, as the vines flower and fruit and lose their leaves, William himself is forced to question his own beliefs and the price he's willing to pay for them.
This book is meaty and an excellent gift for the discernig reader.
