“This is a book about Heaven,\u201d says Jayber Crow, \u201cbut I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.\u201d It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town’s barber.<\/p>\n

Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow\u2019s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty.<\/p>\n

He began his search as a “pre-ministerial student” at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with “Old Grit,” his profound professor of New Testament Greek.
\n“You have been given questions to which you cannot be\u00a0given<\/i>\u00a0answers. You will have to live them out\u2015perhaps a little at a time.”
\n“And how long is that going to take?”
\n“I don’t know. As long as you live, perhaps.”
\n“That could be a long time.”
\n“I will tell you a further mystery,” he said. “It may take longer.”<\/p>\n
