This collection of stories tells the tale of how a very ordinary guy from a typical family in a small farming community in Central Illinois ended up living an extraordinary life, not because of his doing but because surprising doors kept opening before him. It is the story of a gracious, unpredictable, generous, and faithful God. You can read it front to back, pick and choose the tales that interest you, or just look at the photos. Whatever you decide, may it bring joy and encouragement to your life journey!
