A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER- OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK - WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION - NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER- A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD

"Quietly powerful [and] moving." O, The Oprah Magazine (recommended reading)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, GILEAD is a hymn of praise and lamentation to the God-haunted existence that Reverend Ames loves passionately, and from which he will soon part.

In 1956, toward the end of Reverend John Ames's life, he begins a letter to his young son, an account of himself and his forebears. Ames is the son of an Iowan preacher and the grandson of a minister who, as a young man in Maine, saw a vision of Christ bound in chains and came west to Kansas to fight for abolition: He "preached men into the Civil War," then, at age fifty, became a chaplain in the Union Army, losing his right eye in battle.

Reverend Ames writes to his son about the tension between his father--an ardent pacifist--and his grandfather, whose pistol and bloody shirts, concealed in an army blanket, may be relics from the fight between the abolitionists and those settlers who wanted to vote Kansas into the union as a slave state. And he tells a story of the sacred bonds between fathers and sons, which are tested in his tender and strained relationship with his namesake, John Ames Boughton, his best friend's wayward son.

This is also the tale of another remarkable vision--not a corporeal vision of God but the vision of life as a wondrously strange creation. It tells how wisdom was forged in Ames's soul during his solitary life, and how history lives through generations, pervasively present even when betrayed and forgotten.

So tiny, so elegant
Color: Gold Harlow, Size: 16MM, Color: Gold Harlow, Size: 16MM
This ring is so elegant and beautiful. It is tiny, so if you don't have the best eyesight, this will not work for you. The band fits snugly on my size 7 ring finger. I love the shape of this ring so much. It seems like really good quality and has kept time accurately so far. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion

I'm going to write a review right away so I can't comment on if it keeps perfect time as I just got this watch ring 90 mins ago. But first impression - AWESOME! So comfortable for me, seems very well made and it is definitely keeping time for my tiny time I've had it. I am very hopeful it is going to be sturdy and last and the battery does well. A really stylish fun way to keep track of time and have a statement piece.

Unique watch for sure
Color: Silver, Size: 15MM
So good, so cute. The face is pretty small but what do you want from a ring watch? I would say it is not for bigger fingers. I wear a size 7.5 and it fits perfectly. It does have an elastic band but when I tried it on a larger finger, it definitely pinched. I am of fan of different watches so this fits the bill. It's unique and an eye-catcher. Well done Fossil.

Pretty. Tiny. Hopefully has good battery life. UPDATE: The silver one was defective.
Color: Gold Raquel, Size: 14MM, Color: Gold Raquel, Size: 14MM
I bought both the gold and the silver ones. I have a collection of ring watches but most of them are sets you can buy for cheap. These are my first made by a well known watch company. They look big on picture but they are tiny. I bought it so when my smartwatch dies I have one on my ring to tell the time. I don't like going on my phone to check the time just to avoid distractions. I hope the battery lasts long. Updated review: I started using the gold one and it works great! The silver one wasn't working so I processed a return for it. However when they shipped the replacement, there was nothing inside the tin can fossil case. I called Amazon and they refunded me for the silver one. The product works great. I probably got a defective one. My fear is maybe someone took the ring before packing it for replacement. That's just wrong. I'm going to get the silver one from Macy's instead.
