Book Description
In this book, Ken Peery tells the amazing story of the coming of faith and civilization to West Texas and San Angelo. From the earliest of planting of the Gospel by early Spanish explorers in southwest America, the city came into being because of the opening of Fort Concho by the Army. Agriculture, ranching, the buffalo and finally the striking of oil all combined to grow the city. Today the Spirit flourishes in the Queen City of West Texas. The reader will be excited to trace the growth as these chapters unfold the story. Four men walk across North America from sea to sea, surviving on prickly pears, pecans and roots. Grand Canyon and the Mouth of the Colorado River discovered. First Negro graduate of West Point served at Ft. Concho. Miss Hattie's, a popular bordello, entered via a tunnel under the street with access through a bank. A retired buffalo soldier worked as a carpenter and ranch hand until he died in 1957 at the age of 107. A woman with a shotgun faced down an angry mob of soldiers. Tuberculosis patients came to San Angelo to regain their health in the dry climate. Ken Peery, retired attorney, lives in Topeka, Kansas, with his wife, Doris, of nearly 60 years. They have two sons, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. This is his second book. His first book "Desires of My Heart - A Lawyers' Journey from Law to Justice" was published by Xulon Press in 2009.

St. Angelo's Fire
Author: Rommel Fallarme
Publisher: Rommel Fallarme
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Continuing from "The Book of Us," "ST. Angelo's Fire" delivers powerful messages of reality and inspiration. Like fire, these messages are paradoxical—both easily misunderstood and deeply impactful. They challenge us to interpret them with either burning conviction or glowing prudence. This book explores the irony where good intentions can be met with objection. It aims to spark realizations about our roles as messengers of a greater purpose, encouraging us to accept challenges for the common good. "ST" stands for the Spirit of Truth, and we are His "Angelos" (messengers). "ST. Angelo's Fire" calls on us to embrace our roles, delivering messages of hope, pain, love, and truth with unwavering commitment. Get fired up and become a bearer of The Truth.
