Roaring River State Park and The Great Passion Play Theater are real places visited by thousands each year.
Andy Savage is an imaginary character who faces many of the problems encountered by real thirteen-year-old boys in today's world. Can he learn to solve these problems in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, with the help of his Christian grandparents, friends, and an awesome trout?
When Bobby Beaver and his mother discover a lost baby bobcat after a storm, Bobby decides that he wants to be just like the bobcat - which is not a good idea when a bear arrives.
While writing my first book, The History of Fishing Table Rock Lake, I became interested in what was under the surface of this large, man-made impoundment. I felt it would be enjoyable and hopefully informative to research what was covered when the water piled up behind Table Rock Dam in the late 1950's.
As with all historical research, it is always a challenge to find the ultimate truth about events in the past. Particularly with stories of the oral tradition, tales change with time. Often, certain events and occurrences are related or documented with some inaccuracy. Retellings continue these errors and sometimes add their own.
I have tried hard to verify the stories in this book. Wherever possible, I have attempted to use multiple sources to arrive at the best possible account. Despite these efforts, I am sure that some errors and misrepresentations have crept in.
When I first began this endeavor, I thought I would accumulate a litany of interesting facts and events- and these are indeed a part of this book. I have come to realize though, that the real story is something else. It is the story of a rugged land and rugged people. It is a tale of somewhat isolated culture thrust into a modern world not necessarily of its own choosing.
I would like to thank my family and friends for their support during this project. Thanks to those who allowed me to quote from their historical writings, the librarians, historians and proof readers who assisted me, and those who shared their wonderful photographs. Most of all, I owe a debt of gratitude and respect to those who so kindly allowed me to interview them personally. It is these first-hand accounts which bring this history to life.
I hope you enjoy these stories and perhaps discover some you have not heard before. And next time you are driving over or boating across the lake, I hope you know a little more about what was Buried by Table Rock Lake.
Drawing from his varied professional experiences with the human-animal bond, Dr. Don, as he was fondly know by his clientele, provides a systematic way for us to study prayer from a Christ-centered perspective.
From delivering a calf on a bitter cold snowy night to treating a pet snake with a rash, his incorporation of unique experiences with animals and their people into the intricacies of prayer provides a lasting impression of the relationship that Christ longs for with us, His companions.
Through tears of sorrow and peals of laughter in these true stories of love and compassion in animal health care, Dr. Don draws fresh insight into each chapter, emphasizing key elements in a memorable way. This book is written in a clear, easy-to-understand, uplifting style, and it is based on sound Christian theology.
For those who have a cherished pet and those who long for a closer walk with God, this book offers a pathway to that message "Man tends to his sheep as Jesus tends to His flock."
An established author, Dr. Don relates his faith and passion for Christ to his love and passion for God's animal kingdom. His Stories will touch your soul and make you laugh and cry. Compassion opens a window to God's love through the eyes of Pet Lovers.
As Dr. Don's stories unfold, they answer the question "What could a veterinarian know about Christ-centered love?"
Drawing upon earlier research by Thelma Marie Cupps Fleming and Loeita Bernice Spencer Lemes, the author's project began in earnest in 1988. Many years of continuous corresopondence; travels in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Texas, Arizona, California, and Washington, D.C.; visits to courthouses, cemeteries, libraries, and the National Archives; and personal intervies furnished additional information. In 1997, after nine years of research and much support and input from Thelma and Loleita, the historical focus was completed.
In the lovely small town of Chilowith, Missouri, Sandra Johnson lived in a perfect life. She had it all; everything any women could ever want. Not only was she beautiful, and talented. She has the perfect husband and the perfect kids. She was a stay at home mom and she loved it.
Her life was every woman's dream. Everything was real nice and cozy.... until.... until someone else decided he wanted some of her perfection to call his own. He would claim her as his and make her see that being perfect is not all that its cracked up to be. William Young, Chilowith's leading detective had a good career. That was all he could say for his life. A divorce down the drain, and a lovely daughter that he hardly got to see. Overworked and underpaid. His life sucked. He had no one in his life and nothing to show for all his hard work. And he sure wasn't getting any younger. But hey, that's the price you pay right? What he didn't know was that his life was fixing to get worse. A lot worse.
The Old Wire Road, as it is referred to after being the source of telegraph messages from both sides during the Civil War, is still a road of reality in today's times. Earlier, the Trail of Tears and the Butterfield Stagecoach route used some of the same road.
The road and its beginnings are recorded in this book of realistic history that should be intriguing to the reader that is interested in the history of Missouri and beyond.
The amazing world of dinosaurs, with emphasis on the fact that God made every creature on earth.
God's creative power and His love for us are evident in this book of simple facts about the universe. Heno Head's descriptions of the planets, stars and comets are fascinating fun for curious young minds.
God's design for our world and the way weather happens.
