Letters from a Peasant
|
The Wit and Wisdom of a Prairie Farmer
Brent Olson
|
This collection of award-winning "letters," captures the rural art of storytelling -- the art of highlighting the inspirational and the interesting in the experiences we all share daily. Olson brilliantly writes about family living, raising children, going to church, living with neighbors and parents, and provides commentary on many other events of life in America. With keen insight and incredible humor, he has written a book that you will want to share with everyone you meet. From his vantage point as farmer, Brent draws on the wisdom of the people of the land to talk about spiritual things, political life, history, economics and other topics pertinent to life in a global village. From worries about being clean for church to a backseat full of baby pigs, the author lifts up life in rural America with humor and pride. His chronicles of the life of a farmer touch the lives of all who live in awe of the land. Brent's candor at the ups and downs of life as a husband, father, and farmer highlights life in 21st century America.
He writes, "I am a peasant. We raise the food, cook the meals, and tend the sick. There is no glory in being a peasant, but we are the ones who turn the wheels of the world.
Brent Olson is more than a curmudgeon with great humor. He brings the reader in touch with wisdom, unconditional love, and faith. -Albert H. Quie, Former Governor, the State of Minnesota.
