Roaring Rapids Ranch Stories with Biblical Illustrations

Step into the Roaring Rapids Ranch, where Jake Harmon, Boone the cowdog, Mary, Colt Barnes, and the people of Caldwell Crossing live, work, ride, pray, make mistakes, and learn what matters beneath the wide Western skies of the 1880s.

Each family-friendly cowboy story stands on its own, with original artwork and audio so readers can listen while they read. Read or play these stories to your class using your smartphone. Our simple stories are written to entertain, encourage, and help readers think Biblically about living with love, courage, kindness, generosity, honesty, forgiveness, friendship, and faith in our world as Jesus and His disciples lived in theirs.

To get the real flavor of our ranch life and meet the growing number of cowboys and others, begin with Chapter 1: Friends for Life and learn how Jake finds Boone the cowdog. Without necessarily needing to read the previous stories, you can understand and discuss the deeper spiritual meanings you will find in each chapter.

Each week, our newest International Sunday School Lessons (Uniform Lessons Series) now link you to a story that illustrates the lesson. You can use these stories to illustrate, introduce, begin, or close a lesson. Your Bible students may also enjoy hearing Cole Braddock read a usually five- or six-minute story aloud.
