It is such a blessing when the Lord shows you something that just pricks your heart and encourages you in your walk. Such is the case with dear Pa Mac at Farm Hand's Companion. We have been inspired, uplifted and encouraged with his journey on another homestead adventure of his own. An endeavor he began for a second time in what some would call, his 'later years'; his dogged diligence, youthful enthusiasm and toe-tapping music engage you from the start. Pa Mac's unique historical accounts and educational adventures are woven with humor and scriptural relevance that will have your whole family dreaming of future homesteads! Learn more about his clever chronicles at: www.FarmHandsCompanion.com.

We are not being financially or otherwise reimbursed for this tidbit. We have shared this with all our friends and family because of our excitement and joy his wonderful website and videos gave us...We have not yet scratched the surface of all the wonderful information available on his site, but it is well worth sharing with you!
You can enhance your studies, as we do, by reading some of Eric Sloane's books. They are packed with intriguing information and beautiful illustrations of daily pioneer life, building methods and long forgotten tools. We have read:
Diary of an Early American Boy: Noah Black 1805
Our Vanishing Landscape
ABC Book of Early Americana
A Reverence for Wood
A Museum of Early American Tools
As well, we enjoy reading and referencing:
Down Home Ways by Jerry Mack Johnson
Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them by Rolfe Cobleigh
A Prairie Boy's Winter by William Kurelek
The Forgotten Arts and Crafts by John Seymour
Please note: While reading these we have learned interesting historical rituals, spiritual errors and superstitions many pioneers took part in that have stirred further family discussion; comparing and contrasting them with the truth of God's holy word. We encourage parental study to address these with true understanding. I highly recommend cooperative support with the teachings of Pastor David G. Meyer whose life experience, the Lord released him from, offers a unique perspective, exposing secrets and lies of the occult and false religions for what they are. It is imperative that you prayerfully consider all that is introduced to you and we hope these resources encourage you to pray for greater understanding from the Lord, as you study your King James Bible*.

Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
