Rugged Trails and Ragged Shoes

by Janis Good

The lone Model T bumped over potholes, rounded hairpin bends, and sputtered up steep roads in the vast sprawl of West Virginia mountains. A trip into these mountains was not easy, but that didn’t stop Lora. The summer of 1926 became the first of ten that Lora spent in West Virginia. A pioneer in children’s Bible school ministry, she prepared her own lessons and drew her own pictures. Between classes she ministered to women and children in the community. “You don’t lose by sacrifice,” she said years later. “I would do it all over again!” Lora’s life of service for the kingdom was an inspiration to many who knew her. With this book, you can enjoy her story as well.

I LOVED this story!! The messages on pages 54, 65, 121, 143 and especially 309, have not only helped me but I am able to help others as well.
Ms. Good did an awesome job sharing Lora's adventures at Roaring Creek Mission. I felt like I was there standing beside the creek, hearing the roaring water rush past me, feeling its lovely mist kissing my skin. Up the dirt trail I could see and hear children laughing and running to the schoolhouse, eager to hear God's word.
I felt the struggle that raged on in the young and the old. I felt their heartaches over loss of so many people and things.
I THANK YOU Ms. Good for taking the time to share Lora Heatwole's life.
