That Printer of Udell's


Book Description

'That Printer of Udell's' is a work of fiction by Harold Bell Wright. He served as a minister before becoming a writer, and thus this story was created with Christian themes in mind. In the story, Dick Falkner, who comes from a broken home, sees his father under the influence of alcohol and his mother starving. After his parents die, Dick goes to Boyd City in the Midwestern United States to become employed. Dick believes that "Christians won't let me starve." A printer named George Udell hires Dick; both of them decide to become Christians and Dick becomes a revered member of the religious community due to his public speaking abilities and optimism.
