Life Before Heaven: A Pilgrim's Progress in the New World

By Mr. Scott VanGenderen

A fundamental faith is key as a young immigrant makes his way in a burgeoning America at the dawn of the twentieth century. As Harry Veenstra adapts to his new country, the faith of his fathers guides him through the adventure that is life. Reminiscent of Mark Twain and Booth Tarkington, Harry takes us into a world where automobiles and telephones are new fangled inventions. However the issues Harry faces growing up, finding love, finding a career, are as relevent today as then. Life is evermore sweet through the constant prescence of death, at home or on the factory floor. However, no void can overcome Harry's faith and the promise of life to come. Here is a story of the adventure to be found by commitment of one life to his savior.
