Adel, IA Retired Pastor Publishes Art and Travel Memoir

Wrestling on Starry Nights, a new book by Hugh R. Stone, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Wrestling on Starry Nights focuses on the religious art that has influenced the author and some of the religious images he has encountered on his travels around the world.

A review by Ronald H. Stone, John Witherspoon Professor (Emeritus) Pittsburgh Theological Seminary says, in part, "Stone grasps the religious nature shining through van Gogh's work as he recognized God's powerful design shining through the clear nights of North Central Iowa's beautiful starry skies."
