The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23-24)

Probably no other man in the last half century has been so constantly in the center of the Baptist Missionary Association of Texas, and all East Texas, as has the late Reverend C. R. Meadows. Probably no other man has so characterized the true ideals of the Christian ministry. Surely no other man has given more real Christian love and understanding and has been loved by as many people of all Faiths.

In this book, Mrs. Mary Utt, a loving daughter of this man, has written an intimate portrait, using many of the writings of Reverend Meadows. (From the Introduction by Curtis M. Carroll)
