Tails from the Woods


Book Description

Welcome to Tails from the Woods! This compilation of short stories is about one man's lifetime of experiences hunting and camping alone or with family and friends. These stories contain memories ranging from early childhood to late adulthood that land the author in many different predicaments from which lessons are learned through successes and failures. These lessons, combined with scriptures from the Bible, helped the author to better understand God's Word and His will for our lives. Some of these stories might help novice hunters increase their hunting skills. But most focus on the mistakes that come from inexperience or carelessness that can lead to hilarious and unwanted outcomes. Maybe you're a seasoned hunter. Maybe you are just starting your hunting career. Or maybe you just like to spend time in God's glorious creation. Hopefully, Rick Gordon's stories, combined with thought-provoking scripture, will bring a smile to your face and help you avoid pitfalls in the woods or in your walk with Christ and all His creation!

Beyond the Woods


Book Description

Once upon a time, the stories that came to be known as “fairy tales” were cultivated to entertain adults more than children; it was only later that they were tamed and pruned into less thorny versions intended for youngsters. But in truth, they have continued to prick the imaginations of readers at all ages. Over the years, authors have often borrowed bits and pieces from these stories, grafting them into their own writing, creating literature with both new meaning and age-old significance. In the last few decades or so, they’ve also intentionally retold and reinvented the tales in a variety of ways—delightful or dark, wistful or wicked, sweet or satirical—that forge new trails through the forests of fantastic fiction. This new anthology compiles some of the best modern fairy-tale retellings and reinventions from award-winning and bestselling authors, acclaimed storytellers, and exciting new talents, into an enchanting collection. Explore magical new realms by traveling with us, Beyond the Woods . . .

Secrets of the Woods


Book Description

"Secrets of the Woods" is a collection of sketches of diverse storylines but all related to forest life. "Simmo was full of wonder, for an Indian notices few things in the woods beside those that pertain to his trapping and hunting; and to see a mouse wash his face was as incomprehensible to him as to see me read a book. But all wood mice are very cleanly; they have none of the strong odors of our house mice. Afterwards, while getting acquainted, I saw him wash many times in the plate of water that I kept filled near his den..."
