NEW YORK— September 22, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, The Most Amazing Harvest: The Man Behind the Story by Pam Bates and Paula Patty, is a faith-based story of hope, selflessness, and community. The Most Amazing Harvest tells an unconventional love story between a farmer and his town.

In 2015, an Illinois farmer named Carl Bates was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and soon moved to hospice care. Carl’s friends and neighbors realized he wouldn’t be able to harvest his crops, so they stepped up. On one day in September 2015, forty farmers and volunteers gathered together and completed Carl’s harvest, demonstrating pure love for their neighbor. The Most Amazing Harvest: The Man Behind the Story goes beyond the viral news story, giving an in-depth look at Carl’s life, and explaining how it was able to inspire such a great community reaction.

 The Most Amazing Harvest: The Man Behind the Story is based on a true story, told from the perspective of Carl’s fictional guardian angel Gus. Gus details how Carl lived his life with humility, love, and faith, sharing his beliefs with everyone he encountered, and living out the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” every day. Through Carl’s amazing story, men and women will be inspired to see the miracles around them, grow through their struggles, and live life to the fullest. The Most Amazing Harvest: The Man Behind the Story teaches readers to live like Carl — selflessly, hopefully, and gratefully.
