A Farmer's Year: Daily Truth to Change Your Life

by Angus Buchan

In farming, life is a daily struggle against the elements, and it is always unpredictable. Angus Buchan, a South African farmer of Scottish extraction, has learned from this unpredictability to rely upon God from day to day. A Farmer's Year shares the profound truths Angus has learned over many years of hard work. These daily readings will help you find courage and faith, bring you back to the true basics, and keep you in touch with God. "How arrogant we farmers sometimes become when we see a beautiful crop of wheat or corn, and have the audacity to take the credit," he writes. "We plant, and do our best to cultivate, but we must leave the rest to God."

About the author

ANGUS & JILL BUCHAN

Jill and I found Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour on the 18th of February 1979, just two years after settling in Greytown, Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, South Africa. Originally from Zambia, we bought a piece of land on which we planned to farm crops and livestock. We had very little to start with but even as brand new Christians, we were content with our farm, which we later called SHALOM.

In 1980, the Lord gave us a vision - very simply and clearly, through His Word. We believed our responsibility to be the following:

The Great Commission - Mark 16:15

Caring for Orphans and Widows - James 1:27

Equipping Saints for the Work of Ministry - Matthew 28:20

Everything undertaken at Shalom embraces this threefold vision and Shalom has become home to a community of families and believers who live and work as a team.
