Synopsis: Guy Howard's story is no echo of any other preacher’s autobiography--he is known to thousands of mountain people in northern Arkansas and southern Missouri as the Walkin' Preacher of the Ozarks. For the past ten years, Mr. Howard has walked an average of four thousand miles a year; his salary has averaged fourteen dollars a month. He has served dozens of pastorless communities in the Ozark area as pastor, teacher, music director, confessor and general advisor on matters of every description. Without thought of recompense, distance, or dangers, he is at the beck and call of these mountain people all hours of day and night. “Lavin’ away gran’pappy," taking the place of the proverbial shotgun, revival meetings, building the schoolhouse--these and other homespun stories are told with engaging candor and portrayed with forceful simplicity, honest religion, and against a setting about which most Americans know little.
