Ten P's in a Pod : A Million-Mile Journal of the Arnold Pent Family by Arnold Pent III
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a fabulous book; one of the best non-Bible books I have ever read. It was written by Arnold Pent III, the 3rd of 8 children of Arnold Pent II and his wife Persis, when he was 21-years-old from entries in his journal from when he was 17-to-19-years-old. The 10 members of the Pent family traveled around the country singing and preaching for churches, television and radio programs, and anyone who would listen. Their goal was to win people to Christ and encourage Christians to read and memorize the Bible daily. Ten P's in a Pod is filled with (not necessarily chronological) stories over a few years of their travels. They were not from anywhere and went wherever God led them. They homeschooled and ate natural foods well before such things gained popularity in the early 1980s. Mostly, they lived their life completely trusting that God would supply their needs. This book has numerous examples of God doing just that. This book will also challenge you to have individual and family devotions, and to read your Bible daily, in a greater way than you ever have before. It is well written, reads quickly, is funny, and is inspiring. I highly, highly recommend this book. This book was first self-published in 1965. This version is an excellently published edition from Vision Forum.
