But when a letter arrives in his mailbox, everything changes. Lauren Reslin, Ward’s estranged daughter, is requesting that he visit her in Montana. When Ward arrives, Lauren informs her father she has only a few months to live.

Book Description
"Grandfather was an anachronism. Modern time and place had no value in his world, for his world was without limits or time. His world was that of nature and eternity. He was truly one of the ancients, part man, part animal, and almost entirely spirit. His home was the wilderness, and in the wilderness, he tested all things. Most of all, he was a searcher for truth. His was a life of grand simplicity that few would ever know, where true riches were defined in beauty..." Tom Brown, Jr. Here is the incredible true story of a Native American whose tribe roamed free, far from the chaos we call "civilization." His wisdom is a remarkable integration of different philosophies, of different peoples, tribes, and religions. Now Tom Brown, Jr. shares the insights of his beloved teacher--insights that speak to the eternal spirit within us all.

Book Description
Conversations With Grandpa...What Every Christian Grandfather Wants His Children And Grandchildren To Understand is a skillfully written trilogy starting with the heart-warming story about Dr. Stephens' acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Savior. The highly unusual interjection of circumstances into his life, by a Christian southern couple, provided the knowledge and reason for the need of salvation in one's life. Dr. Stephens' intense study of the Bible, his church attendance, and the countless hours spent in prayer and study enabled him to provide the scriptural background for the 2nd book within the trilogy. Areas of interest covered are salvation, justification, and sanctification. The clear description of these subjects will enlighten anyone from the teenager to the senior adult, who is searching for knowledge on how one gets to heaven. Dr. Stephens uses a unique approach of fictitious objections to the Bible that he has encountered through years of witnessing to people. The objections of these fictitious characters were actually told to him, which provided insight and information for the writing of this book. The last book gives Dr. Stephens' life experiences of dealing with cancer, the loss of 2 professional licenses, which devastated his income, and the way to dealt with forgiveness of all who violated his constitutional rights in the loss of his licenses. This book will become a reference book for years to come
