Review from Evelyn

I was thrilled to receive the following note Sunday from our friend Evelyn, a member of our Sunday School class.  Evelyn read both "Frontier Stories" and "A Visit to Mars" by G.V. Albertson and the note is so great:

Andy & Cathy,
Thank you so much for loaning me your great grandfather's books!  What a joy to read about the pioneering ministry of the wild west and his sharing about first hand witnessing of history of our nation!
I'm speechless about his visions of the future that he shared in the "Mars" book!  Fantastic!
                                                                                                     Gratefully,
                                                                                                     Evelyn

Wow, thank you Evelyn!  She actually told me she had wished she could read on and on even more stories as she came to the end of "Frontier Stories".

As you might have noted, I loaned these copies to Evelyn - it is my sincere desire for many people to read and be blessed by my great grandfather's works of decades ago.  If you are reading this blog and wish to read these books, rather than buy them, it would be my pleasure to also loan them to you - I have a couple copies of each circulating around.

Have a great week!
Andy

Another Review

Here is a great review from another reader of both books....Andy

"I was privileged to be able to read Frontier Stories and A Visit to Mars.
Frontier Stories is a book that was hard to put down. A great adventure that held my attention throughout. How the author, G.V. Albertson, survived the pioneering experiences and perils of the Old West made me realize that God interceded on behalf of this man, who was determined and committed to share the Gospel message at all cost.
 
As for A Visit to Mars, I admit that at first I was wondering why a pastor would write a book with such a title. However, quickly it became evident that this was a fictional account with real life application. I found the book extremely compelling and challenging, as even a fictional account of true revival taking place in a society through evangelistic fervor thrills my heart. May God’s people rise up and share with “Earthlings” the true message of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ." ~by Rev. Roy Pierce

REVIEW: "I Never Got Bored With It"

How about a couple reviews now that 'Frontier Stories' has been out there awhile!

Fran E. of GA from my Sunday School class told me the other day - "Andy, I am lovin' your great grandfather's book - I am sure enjoying reading it."

Wow, thanks Fran, I hope you enjoy it right to the end.

Dave S. of VA told me "I never got bored with it."  He went on to praise the concise writing style and even said "You didn't have a chance to get bored with anything."  He said he and his wife would pick out 'Frontier Stories' or 'A Visit to Mars' which they are finishing now- during their designated reading times.

Another reader Tom B. from KS wrote me an email awhile back - in describing the author - "His courage and strength as a human being, guided by faith is breathtaking.  As I read each of his exploits, I found myself wanting to walk or ride beside him to experience the events first hand.  And I would bet he would be happy with that outcome, that the reader would feel moved to walk by his side in their hearts and begin their own faith-guided journey."

Wow again!  Tom B. from KS does NOT have a religious background at all, but told me his "hobby" was reading books and ranked this one high on his list.

More reviews coming - SEND ME YOUR REVIEWS, PLEASE or write them in the COMMENTS to this or any other post - and include your thoughts on 'A Visit to Mars', my great grandfather's other (but very different) book.   

Blessings,
Andy
