Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With all its tidbits of historical facts, Gloria Elam's story of her ancestors would be of interest to people even outside her family. She paints a picture of characters reaching hundreds of years back, one that rolls nicely and is fun to read. You very quickly get involved with the tale." Carolea Hassard, Texas weekly newspaper journalist "In her book, Gloria Peoples Elam has traced her family from the ancient border area between Scotland and England to the present time. The coverage of the historical events in this book is impressive and complete. From 1649 and the first ancestry on the James River to the American Revolution, the Battle for Texas Independence, the Civil War, World War I, to World War II, Peoples ancestors have been involved. They have been part of the history of Parker County Texas, where she resides; and also throughout Texas and the State of Oklahoma. Down through the years the caretakers of our history have been invaluable. Gloria has been a very effective caretaker of her family history and much, much more." Laurie Moseley III, Curator, Springtown Legends Museum, Texas State Archaeological, Society Member and Past President, Retired Texas Educator As you read the pages of this wonderful book you will quickly see Gloria's passion for history as she unfolds the history of her family in the settling of these United States. Her ancestry will come alive before you and you will be gently reminded that in some way we are all a part of this Great American Heritage. Pastor Doug Harris, Agnes Baptist Church, Springtown Chamber of Commerce President 2011-2012 It was fascinating to read this genealogical history of Gloria's family that she so cleverly has woven through different eras of America's history. She managed to account for her family ancestors and established a legacy by placing them in the important events taking place in America from the 1600's to the late 1800's.

Book excerpt: What would you do if you felt a calling to go to a far-off war-torn country to spread the word of God? Would you follow that calling or would you do the "wise" thing and stay home where it is safe? Elam Stoltzfus, born and raised Amish in Lancaster County Pennsylvania was a man who felt a tug on his heart to go tell the world about Jesus and he did just that. He set off in 1972 with his pregnant wife, Barbara and their three children and went to Guatemala, Central America, which was in the midst of a brutal civil war. They lived on a houseboat and off the land for the first eight years while planting churches and building a medical clinic. Over the course of 19 years Elam and his family of six children had adventures of every sort and served God joyfully with their whole hearts. Then, in August 1990 the guerrillas showed up at their front door and their ministry was burned to the ground. Elam's younger son, Virgil, was taken captive that night and out into the jungle with written orders to execute him. Had Elam been wrong to risk his family or does following God's call bring limitless rewards? Literally thousands of lives were saved because of Elam's ministry in Guatemala and the spiritual legacy he left behind is immeasurable. This is a story that will inspire any Christian that they, too, can change the world they live and have an exciting life with God.
