book review: Bound for Oregon, by Jean Van Leeuwen

The Todd family sets out from Arkansas on the two thousand mile journey across rough terrain. There are hostile Indians to worry about, and horrible diseases to worry about. There true pioneering must come to light, or , well… they will die. With winter coming on, and the lots of mountains to cross, the journey seams more and more difficult. Will the Todd family make it?

Its a good introduction to the Oregon trail.

About

We are a family — Just like any family we have our struggles. We may not have it all together, but we know the one who does. Our hope, our trust, our days lie in the hands of the creator, who sent his son as an atonement for our sin, our screw ups and failures.

Now — it is only by his awesome grace that we can be the sort of people we are. Feel free to dive in and read the action-adventure story of our lives traveling the globe.

Verse of The Day

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14, ESV)
