Book Description

'Diamonds in the rough are cowboys of vitality who have displayed the inborn chevalier of honor and respect (unwritten code of the West), cowboys who are born with the God-given ability of awareness, positioning, and timing, who have been tried and tested in the fire of time and are ascribed the title of being a hand by other old-time, cowboys. Every diamond in the rough has certain characteristics within his character that set him apart as a cut above the average. Younger cowboys, who have grown up under the influence of older cowboys, are not taught the common sense or good manners. These traits are expected to be lived out in every cowboy.' Just what makes a cowboy A Diamond in the Rough? Lloyd Perry can tell you because he is one. Lloyd has lived life by the code of the Old West and spent his days cowboying around. In this entertaining and meaningful glimpse into the cowboy way of life, Lloyd shares tales of hunting, training dogs, cowboy work, ironic incidents, and lessons that apply to any walk of life. Through it all, glory is given to God for His provision. One of Lloyd's daughters said to him, 'Dad, I've come to realize I don't know you. None of your family knows you. I don't believe anyone really knows you.' From that, this intimate, inspirational memoir came to be. Sit down for a spell with a strong pot of coffee, for you'll be caught up in these tales from start to finish. You'll love this gem of a book, A Diamond in the Rough.
