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
This blog is dedicated to the newly found messages, in both sermon and book form, written and delivered by my great grandfather, the late Rev. Garrett V. Albertson. I have just republished two books he wrote which have been out of print for decades. I want you to experience his heart and be inspired by it.

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

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
