    James "JE" Thomas hadn''t thought much about his classes-or God-before his classroom at the University of Missouri in Columbia was stormed by armed gunmen.

Along the way, Pearl and her family even reignited JE''s love for the church they had both grown up in.As the twists and turns of life come at JE and Pearl, scandal and divisiveness force them out of the church they love. When someone threatens their daughter, the call of God takes them halfway around the world into an unknown life.Will they be able to return home? And-if they do-will they come home as a family? With almost-legendary family history to live up to, JE shoulders the weight of the world to do what''s right-and is changed forever in the bargain.

    Patersons ultimately succeed, after poverty and conflict. In 1876, Arthur McCarty insists his daughter, Edna, leave their mansion in the Scottish Highlands and board a ship to Rochester, New York, to further her education. Edna is headstrong and unwilling to leave her father, but she obeys his wishes and makes the journey to New York, where she eventually meets and marries John Paterson. They have a son, Erroll, but a tragedy leaves John to raise Erroll alone. He also finds himself raising a little girl, Kenzie Cox, abandoned by her mother. When the children are five years old, John takes them to Inverness, Scotland, in search of a better life. John's new boss is abusive, and their new life is one of poverty, intrigue, and physical danger. After John's death, Erroll takes over his father's job. Kenzie and Erroll fall in love and marry, and when Erroll is fired, he and Kenzie walk more than 120 miles to Glasgow Port-hunted and hungry. They are helped by friends along the way and are finally able to board a steamer back to New York after 25 years away. Another Land is the first of a two-book, four-generational saga about one family whose strength, love, and Christian faith carry them forward despite the obstacles in their path.

    Patersons cope with adversity and an abusive boss. The story of Kenzie and Erroll Paterson continues in this second book of a four-generational, two-book saga. While living in Scotland, the Patersons buy a farm in Missouri from a traveling salesman. Hoping to escape a life of poverty and conflict, they return to the United States in 1912, after 25 years away. Still struggling with poverty and trying to earn a living from their farm, the Patersons learn that their former boss in Inverness, who claimed to be Erroll's uncle, is an impostor and in a mental hospital. Erroll is heir to an estate worth over five million American dollars. Their Christian faith, born during their travels in Scotland, matures in Missouri, and the Patersons are able to help those who helped them survive in Scotland. The focus turns to the Patersons' grandson McLaren and his struggles with a boyhood rival, with whether to dig for gold on the family farm, with romantic decisions, and with a murderer and liar. Later, he wrestles with whether he should help his aging father on the farm or travel the world-advising people about flowers, grass, and parks, and earning a far better living than the farm could provide. Follow this family's journey in Another Form, a sweeping saga of love and determination in the face of adversity.
