The Preacher's Son

Born into a family of Methodist preachers in County Durham Joshua Castle knows that he too will become a minister. Though his faith is strong his young heart is broken when he goes to Bristol to train leaving behind Emma Meikle the beautiful daughter of the pub landlord. In Bristol Joshua meets the wealthy Matthews family and though his upbringing is at odds with their lavish lifestyle he is attracted to their daughter Patience and takes her as his bride when he returns to the North to change lives through the power of the Word.
