FARM LIFE
the joy and value of hard work in the Clapp family
This 64 page soft cover book tells the story of the hard working Clapp family.
What was it like living on a farm in 1950?
Read a true story about the family of Wanda Clapp, mother of the author. Follow her daily activities on a farm near Frederick, Oklahoma. Set in 1950 when Wanda was 8 years old, you will see a life characterized by hard work, even for the children. But you will laugh and be impressed by the joy each day held.
This family followed in the footsteps of their ancestors who loved the Lord God. They strove to live as the Scripture encourages, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for people.” (Col. 3:23 Good News Translation)
The book ends with an application question and a fun activity making homemade butter!
Two target age groups in one book! Older students will enjoy the full text, but reading to younger children with shorter attention spans is easy with bolded type for the main ideas.
More to come ...
Future books in the series will explore the lives of other ancestors in the author's family. See how God prepared William Brewster from an early age to lead the pilgrims. Follow the Hinckley family as they unite to fight in the Revolutionary War. Be inspired by H. T. Clapp's dependence on God as he leaves family and everything he knows to go west. But for now, get to know the hard-working Clapp family as they survive on an Oklahoma farm in 1950.
