Holiday Stories Volume #1
Author: Ronald L. Shank
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467064173
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
It all started back in 1995, shortly before Christmas. I felt inspired to write a Christmas story, so I did. In all truthfulness it tore me up to write it, because my vision was not limited to my words. It made me remember what Christmas was really all about. At that time I decided to write a story each year for Christmas and give copies out as gifts. Each year the recipients of my stories would encourage me to publish them, ten years later I now have enough stories, and lack reasons not to. So I offer a collection of what I call for lack of a better title ‘Holiday Stories’. They carry a decided Christian slant and hopefully give reason to be thankful. Hopefully they bring as much joy as sadness, and a lot of thought moments. It’s difficult, to say the least, to try to describe this mixed bag of stories, especially when you know its only through the help of the Lord that the ideas and stories came into being. There is a similar central theme to many of the stories. There is that common thread of spirituality in the message of each story. The stories all are to bring a remembrance of Jesus Christ and what he did for sinful humankind. The stories are to illustrate a higher and purer love in sacrificial action in a world that we are all too familiar with. I hope you will enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them. And I pray the Lord that my words will convey the vision that I was granted when I wrote them.

Book Description
In the beautiful Appalachian region of America, the majesty of the mountains hides a dark and often deadly world below. It is 1896 when eight-year-old Hershel Martin quits school and begins work as a trapper boy—the one who sits alone in the dark mine, opening and closing an air directing trap door, or waiting for the coal to rumble down the chute and then raising a trapdoor so the coal can fall into mine cars on the track below. As he battles to survive within a brutal industrial culture, Hershel seemingly has no choice but to follow those in his family who have worked the mines before him. Three years later after his mother dies unexpectedly, Hershel must deal with his fear of failure at the mines, taunting from other boys, and loving feelings for a girl he is not sure can reciprocate. As he grows into a man and eventually marries, Hershel has no idea everything is about to change in 1907 when a disaster strikes the mine, leaving him grieving for his lost friends and longing to help those who have suffered unimaginable losses. In this epic historical tale, the struggles and triumphs of an Appalachian miner and his family are brought to life as they strive to survive poverty and the danger that lurks underground. “... Hoover ... writes with great authority and a keen eye for the telling details ...” —Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever
