Octavo, white cloth (hardcover), 191 pp. Very Good+, with light foxing (age darkened spotting), in a Very Good dust jacket with slightly age darkened spine and light edgewear. From jacket: Seven decisive days in the life of a young clergyman are powerfully and dramatically chronicled in Faith Baldwin’s story of an intelligent young man torn between the ministry and medicine. Assistant Pastor in a Protestant church, Ira Stevens doubts his calling to the ministry...he is plagued by the loneliness of indecision and by an increasing sense of isolation -- from his work and fraom his own desires. He wonders if he should return to the medical training he once found so rewarding...As Ira touches extremes of joy, misery, tenderness, and even violence in [his parishoners’ lives], he also confronts -- and accepts -- surprising elements in his own nature.
