Based on years of research, Doug McMurry tells the story of a Christian spiritual awakening among the Columbia Plateau tribes, rising out of early tribal prophecies pointing to Jesus. It shows how God used both white and Native leaders to draw people to Himself. It portrays two men who crossed the Rocky Mountains in opposite directions at roughly the same time: the Christian trapper-mapper Jedediah Smith; and Spokan Garry, the first Christian evangelist in the American West.

The Forgotten Awakening intertwines these two stories, showing how God used two men from opposite cultures to convey His vision for this continent. If God was drawing white easterners to Jesus during the Second Great Awakening, He was working just as powerfully among Western tribes during those same years. This story will shatter our preconceptions of Western history.

Cartoonist Ian Sargent takes a humorous look at a serious message in the age-old story about a drought, a huge ark, and a man who claims to have heard from God! When the local crime boss, Mr. Snide, hears about Noah's project and his call to the people to repent from their sins, (which would destroy Snide’s profits from the crime ring) he finds only one solution-eliminate Noah!

After failed assassination attempts, Snide takes a more subtle approach to undoing Noah. Funding ark building projects around Gardengreen, he tries to convince the God-fearing man of the commercial possibilities behind the ark. Surely he could lure him away with fame and fortune!

What could there possibly be to worry about? After all, it hadn't rained in years, and no one really listened to Noah anyway...except Snide's own daughter! Learn More

Despite persecution, God calls Antipas to build a church in Pergamum. Laying his life on the line, he lives in danger from his own father and brothers as he grapples with the forces of good and evil in an epic battle for his soul.

Berg Farm tells the story of two brothers in the mid 1960’s who face the reality of being in the military during a time of war. Johnny is quiet, self-effacing, and reliable; he trusts God to see him through. Clark is brash, shallow and self-serving. Two brothers: same background, yet very different from each other. How will they respond to their times?

The brothers belong to a well-grounded Christian family, and are fifth generation Wisconsin dairy farmers of Norwegian heritage. The setting is the real-life town of Stoughton, where being Norwegian is considered bliss, which lends some dry humor to this story of heartache and triumph. The family’s deep character allows them to persevere through a land dispute; the loss of a beloved family member, and the unexpected loss of a son.

Through Berg Farm, the author shows the commitment of God to each of His children, despite their failures. The book also shows the importance of the Holy Spirit for each person in order to respond to life. Underneath it all, the value of the Bible and the family reinforces what it takes to pass on cherished commitments…regardless of the circumstances. Learn More
