About the Book
“Bill Peach kneads the philosophy and history of the South into
language so delicious, you can taste the words.”
Paula Wall
Columnist, humorist, author
“Bill Peach is the king of essays. He cuts right to the chase in Politics,
Preaching & Philosophy. Mark Twain once said that the difference
between the right word and the almost right word is the difference
between lightning and a lightning bug. Bill writes with lightning. I love
his work.”
Maggi Britton Vaughn
Poet Laureate of Tennessee
“If the clothes Bill Peach sells for a living should be as elegant as the
delicious fabric of his prose, all Tennessee would be a fashion statement.”
Will Campbell
Minister, author, activist
“Bill Peach’s short, pithy commentaries, collected here as random thoughts, are his way of serving the sometimes-wayward
community to which he has devoted a lifetime of affection. Tough love, you might call it—the kind that can give courage and strength
to one person or an entire town.”
