Book Description
Bible Sticks: An Unlikely Calling is a book that illustrates more than a hobby; it describes a ministry. How often does one have the opportunity to take a simple hobby, wood carving, and use it to inspire thousands around the world? Ron has had no training and uses only an X-ACTO knife, so it is obvious that God has called him to a very unlikely ministry. These unique carvings started out as modest teaching tools for the young people at his church. Now they are used to motivate others not only by teaching Gods Word in a most unique way but also by encouraging the listener to find their own ministry. This book is filled with photos and descriptions of the Bible sticks, telling the story of each one. Each Bible stick takes over a year to carve, so you can understand the detail. Bible Sticks: An Unlikely Calling is intended to teach, challenge, and inspire others to find their own calling from God.

Book Description
On August 29, 1911, a barefoot, half-starved, gaunt Indian gave himself up to White civilization at a slaughterhouse in Oroville, California. We never learned his name, but we soon learned of his tragedy: mainly that he was the last member of his tribe, the Yahi, to be alive in the wilderness. However, he became known to the world as Ishi, the last human to live freely in the Paleolithic Stone Age on the North American Continent. Through Ishi we can imagine a mythological, primeval view of Manifest Destiny and look back, as if with a telescope through time, into the interior of the mind and into the evolution of human thought. Through Ishi we can discover the decency of humanity, and perhaps we can forgive ourselves for our ancestors’ hateful genocide, especially against the Native Americans of Northern California.
