In today's modern society of sissy boys who grow up to need "personal space", it's a breath of fresh air to remember that there was a time when real men walked among us.
In the woods of Minnesota, during the end of the 1800's, worked at rough group of men. These men were lumberjacks by trade. They were rough, tough, and pay attention to anyone who couldn't keep up with them.
It was to these men that God raised up a special type of preacher. The Apostles of the Pines who could work, live, and preach to these lumberjacks in a way that earned their respect and attention. They could use both the axe and the Bible, the saw and the Scriptures.
The Last Of The Giants by Harry Rimmer follows the lives of three of these preaching lumberjacks. Real men who stood for truth among the hostile environment that made up their congregation's lives.
If you're looking for encouragement in the Lord's service, or if you just want to remember what real men acted like, this is the book for you!
I'm a King James Bible believing sinner saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! I was raised by a good mother and I went to a KJV church growing up. I am a mother of 5 lovely children and am married to a crazy Cajun for 20 years now! I think bow ties are cool, and grey hairs are like tinsle for your head. I admire those who do right no matter the cost, and wish to avoid those who would compromise the truth.
Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.
