PHILosophically Speaking The laboratory of life is a wonderful environment for learning. No one knows this better than the preacher who is constantly looking for ways to illustrate the truth of God's Word from the world around him. This book is gleaned from such illustrations utilized by the author from the pulpit and in church newsletters and other publications. These life lessons are worth reading for personal insight, encouragement and the reinforcement of God's principles found in His Word. If you are a product of the Appalachians, you will find frequent "aha" moments that will lead to either laughter or tears. For others, this little volume will give a fresh perspective to a much maligned and seldom celebrated part of America. A product of the western foothills of Appalachia, Phil LeMaster has served in full-time ministry and as a college instructor throughout this region since 1970. His degrees include a Masters' in psychology from Marshall University and a Ph. D. in educational psychology from the University of Kentucky.
