In the faraway days when the land was young, and still very sparsely settled, domestic cats were very rare in America. They were quite unknown in the backwoods settlement where the Alden family lived in their snug log cabin. So when Mr. Alden returned home from a trip to the distant trading post with a tiny, fat kitten in his saddlebag, the twins, Makepeace and Prudence, were astonished as well as delighted at the sight of the lively little creature. One morning, as the kitten leaped for a mouse, he missed and landed in a large crock of jam instead and that started the wild events that followed.... This is the tenth book in The Good Lord Made Them All series by Joe L. Wheeler. Owney, Smoky, Wildfire, Dick, Spot, Amelia, Togo, Tawny, Stinky, and Sooty make up the set and feature fascinating stories of many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, jaguars, skunks, and squirrels.

Sooty, the Green-Eyed Kitten, and Other Great Animal Stories (Good Lord Made Them All)

In a world that oftentimes seems to have lost its moorings, where knowledge increases at such a dizzying rate that no one can keep up with it, it is good to back away from it all in islands of serenity and ponder the deeper meaning. Which brings each of us to the ultimate question: Where in all this nonstop chaotic frenzy of hype and self-promotion is God? When we do this, inevitably our thoughts travel back, back, back in time to a lowly stable in a little hamlet called Bethlehem, inside which a baby was being born. And high overhead: a blazing star. Christmas was also born that day.

Christmas in My Heart Book 24

Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that Christmas in My Heart would still be alive and well after twenty-seven years-nor that it would also be our 100th book. How mightily God has blessed the ministry of our books! Without question, each year's Christmas in My Heart collection is more daunting to assemble than the ones before. Reason being: We prayerfully search all year long for spiritually based, unforgettable, and deeply moving stories that will touch the heart, will stand the test of time, and be at least as strong as all our previous stories. Sadly, all too few authors are writing value-based stories today such as were the norm back during the golden age of Judeo-Christian stories (1880-1960), most published primarily in family magazines, few of which even exist anymore. In order to keep the Christmas in My Heart series going, we continue to purchase golden age story magazines and books, most from antique stores and the internet-also weaving in contemporary stories.

Christmas In My Heart Book 28

The area at the top of the cliff was covered with wounded men, conscious and unconscious. Desmond chose one of the men who seemed to be the most seriously injured. He slipped one of the man's legs through one of the loops of his bowline, the other leg through the other loop. Now, holding on to the end of the rope, he gently rolled the wounded man over the edge of the cliff and, using the friction of the loop around the tree as a brake, let him down to the ground beneath. In that way, working alone, the only able-bodied man on the entire hilltop, Desmond lowered one man after another to safety. He was partially protected by the slope and the rock wall, but as it was necessary for him to remain standing during several steps of the complete procedure, his head and shoulders were often exposed. Why did no Japanese bullets seek him out? Again Desmond accepted it as the beneficent will of his God. Desmond remained on top of the cliff until he had lowered every wounded man to safety. During this five-hour ordeal, again and again, Doss prayed, Just one more, Lord. The official record would go on to state that seventy-five men had been saved by Desmond Doss, although it was likely closer to one hundred. Just as is true with the proverbial "Six Blind Men of Hindustan," who each approached an elephant from a different angle, the same is true with the word "Courage." For most people, Courage is an ideal, a trait that men, women, and children instinctively aspire to. ~ Joe L. Wheeler.

My Favorite Courage Stories

She lay for three days among the willows, beside a stream to which she had crept. She had been shot through the arm with an arrow, and the shaft was still in the wound. On the third day Patrick Brice an Irish miner, passed by and, hearing the sound of moaning, soon found the child, who in her terror mistook him for an Indian and attempted to escape. Weak from her wounds and exhausted from hunger, she reeled a few steps and fell... As the moon rose, he put his burden on his back and set out up the winding trail. All night he trudged along, stopping only at a spring to bathe her wounds and allay her feverish thirst. At sunrise he hid in a dense clump of bushes. Several times bands of Indians passed near without discovering them. As Brice at length caught sight of the little town in the distance, he was congratulating himself that he should reach it in safety, when his heart sank at the sight of fifty mounted Indians charging down upon him. Brice spread his arms in the peace sign. When they were close, the chief, Mox Mox, rode ahead and spoke to him. Brice could speak a little of the Indian tongue. "What do you want?" he asked. "We want you," the chief replied. "In the many months that went into the search for these integrity stories, I gained a new understanding of the differences between integrity and honesty. For me, scanning through several hundred thousand pages of stories proved to be a seismic experience." ~ JOE L. WHEELER
