Home Fires at the Foot of the Rockies

This is a sequel to the book Home Fires Beneath the Northern Lights. The Schrock family had moved from Virginia to Alberta in earlier years. Home Fires Beneath the Northern Lights shares with the reader many experiences the family had together under the northern lights of Alberta. At the close of the book we find the Schrock family moving into British Columbia. Their primary purpose for this move was to find a safe fellowship in a faithful church setting. It required quite a sacrifice for them to make this move. In the beginning of this book we find them getting settled in British Columbia. The author shares with the reader life as the Schrock family finds it in this new country. They are dependent on the "way freight," a slow-moving train, for their contacts with the outside world. Here, as in Alberta, life is very simple for the Schrocks. But it is a happy life under the blessing of the Lord. They find contentment in seeing His hand in every experience in life. Papa and Mother Schrock guide the faith of the children heavenward as they face life's experiences day by day. You will enjoy with them a moose hunt, fighting forest fires, building a church house, watching the loggers build an ice bridge, riding horseback, taking a train ride to a wedding, and learning to know new neighbors in a cabin in the bush. Here, as in Alberta, the Schrocks find opportunity to witness for their Lord. The children learn many lessons from their wise Christian parents as they teach them how to accept and respond to the various experiences of life. Here again we see that "godliness with contentment is great gain." It does not take much of this world's goods to be happy in Jesus, and to have a happy home life. - Jacket flap.
