Vet in the Vestry

In the late '50s, Cameron gave up a veterinary practice in southwest England to enter the Church of Scotland ministry, changing his focus from animals to humans. His is a story of commitment in both professions combined with a deep and enduring faith. Cameron trained as a vet in his native Scotland, moved to Devon where he had a country practice, then returned to a village church near his childhood home. The engaging memoir is weighted more toward veterinary than ministerial experiences, and is rich in local color, with many appealing characters and sensitive insights into the human condition. Cameron's animal stories will attract Herriot fans. First serial to Christian Herald Family Bookshelf. (Dec.)
