Written and researched by History Professor Jim Wibberding, the book takes you back to the early days of Adventism in California, USA. The stories and photos make the past come alive as if you were there with the early pioneers of the church.
The photos of Adventist pioneers are black and white, but life itself is not. Their world was vibrant. They lived in full color. They dreamed in stark hues. Sometimes they cried themselves to sleep on brightly patterned pillows.This book brings our Adventist pioneers to life in living color. It is your tour guide to the lives, mission, and places of those who kindled the Seventh-day Adventist flame in California. Let your imagination hear the rhythm of their footsteps—footsteps of women and men who walked with purpose. Picture their brown eyes and blue eyes and green eyes darting between fear and hope. Listen to the passion tremble in their voices. Taste the dust on the wind that tugs at their beards and bonnets. Feel the shivers of discoveries and breakthroughs climb your own spine and bloom into a smile on your face.
Available on amazon, Kindle format.
