In the 1970s, a group of poor inner-city African Americans moved to a small Midwestern town to form a Christian commune. The place was referred to as the Ranch. Under the authority of the materialistic pastor Vera Cooley, members of the church would find that life in the community was both blessing and curse. Based on a true story, "What of the Ranch" is the first book in the God's Tabernacle Series. For obvious reasons, names have been changed to protect the innocent-and the guilty.
