Each story was designed to do something important in the heart of everyone who listened.

Danger In The Depths 3 Books In 1
$27.99Add to cartWendy waited, the knife twitching out in front of her. A dark form appeared as the eyes continued their slow approach. The creature was almost in the light, coming closer and closer, creeping through the shadows, about to emerge from the blackness of the cave.
She tightened her grip on the knife and bent her legs slightly, ready to spring to one side should the approaching beast decide to rush her. As the creature moved into the light, Wendy’s mouth dropped open.
Trapped in the depths of the earth, eleven-year-old Wendy remembered the stories her father told of a God who sees and loves His children-no matter what their circumstance. Was God with her now? Would she ever see Debbie and Joey again? And what had happened to her horse, Early? Had he fallen and been swept away by the river?

Whispers In The Wind 3 Books In 1
$24.69Add to cart“Look at that,” the boy said to his big black horse. “I’ve never seen that kind of clouds before. Must be a storm, and I think it’s comin’ this way.”
The boiling band of clouds and snow bore down from the northwest with fearsome speed. As the horse and rider raced along the curving driveway that led from the logging road to the big house by the creek, Joey felt sharp pellets of ice begin to sting his face.
“What’s going on?” he called. “Storms don’t move this fast.”
The blizzard hit the little farm like a giant fist and before long the storm of the century had dumped eight feet of snow on the ground. Did Joey make it to the corral in time? Are Merrilee and Wendy safe? And where, oh where, are Wrangler Barry and Debbie?
This book by Charles Mills is the second in the series and has three stories in one — Treasure of the Merrilee, Whispers in the Wind, and Heart of the Warrior.

Escape To Shadow Creek Ranch 3 Books In 1
$23.79Add to cartGrandpa and Mr. Hanson jolted across the uneven track the farm truck skidding and slipping around corners, over potholes and roots. Every once in a while they could see the horse and its rider up ahead. Neither man spoke. They each knew the danger Joey was in.
Where the rocks and trees blocked the headlong path of the big horse the animal slid to a halt. Joey felt himself slipping from the saddle. At that instant the horse reared up on its strong hind legs and let out a long, loud whinny.
How did Joey Dugan, a self-proclaimed bad kid from New York City, find himself on the back of a runaway horse on a ranch in Montana? Will he ever learn to trust people again? And is it true that God cares what happens to him?
This book by Charles Mills is the first in the series and has three stories in one — Escape to Shadow Creek Ranch, Mystery in the Attic, and Secret of Squaw Rock.

Out Of The Blue
$20.99Add to cartWelcome to Shadow Creek Ranch. When the engine of young pilot Nathan McMillen’s Cessna stalled, he figured he was done for. He was ten thousand feet in the air, flying a small, high-wing airplane over the rugged mountains of western Montana. Under these circumstances, a pilot doesn’t slow to a stop-a pilot potentially glides to a crash.Wendy Hanson had woken up early to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. She couldn’t help but look into the towering mountains surrounding her quiet valley. She could see an airplane in the distance, but I moved without sound, like a phantom flying in the bright summer air. It took her but a moment to realize something was wrong. The plane was headed right toward the only pasture in the area. And right in the middle of that pasture was a horse-her horse. And if she didn’t do something fast, the results wouldn’t be pretty.Shadow Creek Ranch is a special place-full of beautiful things like rivers and mountains, horses to ride, and nature to explore. But it’s also a place for troubled young people to escape from pain, the past, you name it. It’s also for them to heal. Nathan and Wendy’s introduction to each other hadn’t gone very smoothly. But when that airplane fell from the sky and crash-landed at Shadow Creek Ranch, it would start them on an adventure that would not just change their lives forever, but would be a miracle to those around them as well.
