Badlanders (2014)
“Esther Jericho loved her Bible. She never went anywhere without it. She attended church not once but three times a week, and sang in the choir. She was devoted to the Lord, and to Scripture. So when her first child came into the world, she showed her devotion by naming him after her favorite person from the Old Testament and her favorite book from the New.
Her husband, Abe, didn’t mind. He wasn’t as religious himself. He only went to church because she made him. It wasn’t that he didn’t bel...ieve. He’d just rather be off hunting or fishing or just about be doing anything other than listen to a sermon.
Solomon didn’t mind his name, although he didn’t like that a lot of the kids called him “Sol” for short. It sounded too much like “Sal,” which was short for Sally, and a girl’s name besides.
Then he turned fourteen, and something happened that not only changed his name forever after, but changed his life, as well.MoreLess
