Beulah: A Sequel to Jabbok, Paperback

This is the story of my continuing education, in different classrooms, with three new teachers: JoJo McCain, John Cahill, and especially and most wonderfully, Beulah Grace Bayer. Now twenty-five years old, Buddy Hinton is a newly ordained priest in the Episcopal Church. While seminary prepared him for ministry in small congregations in Mississippi, it is his experiences with the people he encounters along his journey, in a little village in the mountains of Honduras, at a summer camp for people with disabilities, and on the steps of his own church, that open his eyes to the mysteries and realities of life, love, ministry, and God.

The Rt. Rev. John McKee Sloan is the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. Kee graduated from Mississippi State University before going to seminary at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. He was ordained a priest in 1982 and bishop suffragan in 2008. He became the diocesan bishop in 2012. Kee grew up in Vicksburg, Mississippi; his wife, Tina, grew up in Leland in the Mississippi Delta. They now live in Birmingham, Alabama, and have two children, McKee and Mary Nell.
