Book Description
The Thomas Ward is like a small stream in the mountains, that emerges from a tiny spring and trickles on down the hillside to join the creek on its way to the river. No attempt has been made to get all the information, about all the people who live, or have lived, within its boundaries. Neither is the material collected, considered to be the most important or free from errors. This book is just "a cup of water" dipped from the little stream, as it journeys on its way, no attempt is made to dip up all the water or stop its flow. It is hoped, that like the cup of cool water from the tiny stream, this book will refresh the reader, and the stream of time flows on. To those pioneers, both young and old who had the courage to combine all the natural resources which the creator so wisely stored in these mountains, rivers and valleys along with the brawn and brain that He gave man. The Miracle of the Desert came to be.

Pages : 444
Book Description
Lowell L. Bennion is legendary in many circles. An LDS institute instructor and professor of sociology at the University of Utah, he was never content simply to quantify social ills or to preach against them but actively set out to correct what he could. He founded and directed the Teton Valley Boys Ranch, served as executive director for the Salt Lake City Community Services Council, and organized other charities.His heart was with the underprivileged. He detested Pharisaism and often quoted biblical passages on the topic adapted to a Mormon ear: As your treading is upon the poor, ... I hate, I despise your f(ast) days, and I will not (dwell in) your solemn assemblies ... Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear ... Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion. Bennion passed away in 1996 just after this biography was released, leaving an enormous void where he had been a beacon to humanitarian and liberation causes in his community.

Author: Gary Edwards
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1640796606
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Kenneth Cable was born into poverty in 1935 during the dust storms of Oklahoma. There are many lessons to be learned from his mentors while growing up in Oklahoma and Kansas. While still a student at Manhattan Christian College, he became the minister of Glenn Park Christian Church in 1955 where he served until 1972. He took the church from a handful of people to over a thousand members. Kenneth married Phyliss Jean Alexander in 1956, who became his "partner in ministry" for the next fifty-plus years. Kenneth, as always, contributed his success in ministry to his partnership with Phyliss. Kenneth has always been attracted to great challenges. He left Glenn Park and accepted the position of vice president of Christian Missionary Fellowship in Indianapolis. The organization was on the brink of collapse, and Kenneth rejuvenated their mission and raised the support for their continued operation. Today, CMF is a thriving and well-funded missionary-sending organization. His next challenge, he accepted the position of vice president of Friends University in Wichita, Kansas, even though he was told they would probably have to close due to the lack of finances. In less than a year, Kenneth raised the funds to eliminate their debt and underwrite their future. All three of these positions were used by God to prepare him for his greatest challenge, to be the President of Manhattan Christian College. The reader will be blessed by reading about Kenneth's faith and perseverance, and especially the Miracle Campaign that saved Manhattan Christian College from foreclosure. Manhattan is where Kenneth continued his very successful service until his retirement. His life will cause the reader to think about their own legacy.
