Review

Campfire Verses is a collection of previously unpublished stories in verse form. They are all campfire-worthy, and they are also suitable to use in lessons, talks, and anything else where tales with a moral would be useful.

These tales are the result of the author's lifetime of service to young people, which required the preparation of countless presentations on a variety of topics. As all of the traditional scary stories and tall tales wore thin from overuse, the author yearned for the uniqueness and attention-riveting power of fresh new tales, so he began to write his own.

Some of the lessons that can be learned around the campfire found in poems such as: "The Method" (Don't take shortcuts to success), "The Eagle and the Chickens" (You will become like the people you associate with), "You're on Commit" (Be comitted to your path), "The Keeper of the Train" (Trust in God), "The Two Wolves Within" (No man can serve two masters).

These tales, with their rich flavor, are sure to captivate people of all ages.
