God's Country is the land where people wait anxiously to serve their fellow man. Mrs. Emmie L. Coffee of Eastman, Georgia lived in God's Country, and her life, filled as it was with love and service, is an eternal invitation to this land we call "GOD'S COUNTRY". Mrs. Coffee's life proved that the best way to get rid of an enemy is to love him into being a friend. This recording is sincerely dedicated to her memory.
