Book Synopsis

Ken Campbell's first book of stories from his "growing up years" and early adult life-Stories I Lived-was so captivating that it left readers with an appetite for more. More Stories I Lived will surely satisfy the palate and grab the imagination through the author's vivid, folksy storytelling from a much simpler time-when survival meant hard work and boys had the time to ride out on horseback and explore the rural wilderness. Campbell writes with humor and purpose, as he tells the stories he lived and the hard-learned life lessons that survival gave him. From picking his first tomatoes to raising a willful pet sheep, from exploring a hidden cave to sledding uncontrolled down a steep hill, from enduring a home-style haircut to corralling a run-away horse. His stories will make you laugh, and they will even make you wince. Yet, don't worry-everything will come out all right in the end, and you'll come away having enjoyed the journey and learned something with the author as well.

Review Quotes

"Master Storyteller Kenny Campbell has produced a sequel to his first book, Stories I Lived. This long-awaited book, More Stories I Lived, is welcomed by fans far and wide. Kenny Campbell kept children on the edges of their seats, and adults too, during worship talks about his childhood ranch. They listened breathlessly as he told real tales of his adventures with his brothers and lessons learned-sometimes the hard way. His love for his hardworking, demanding father shines through these tales. If ever boys could find ways to get into trouble the Campbell boys could. Campbell spins a tale that will hold your attention to the very end. His wit and humor shine through every story, teaching important life lessons along the way."

-Sandra Mason, retired teacher, author

"I first met Ken Campbell in 1996 while serving as the chapel coordinator for the Union Gospel Mission.

"As I listened to Ken and his many stories being a young boy growing up, I realized that his story could have been your story or my story. Many of his stories deal with a life that many of us deal with today.

"Ken can use a cardboard box and bring a spiritual truth out of it. I highly recommend this book with stories of hope and faith. Some of the stories are of lessons hard to learn, but reveal the goodness of God and hope for the future."

-Jim Carson, retired chaplain, Union Gospel Mission

"More wonderful tales from a true treasure! Uncle Kenny takes us to a simpler time with smiles aplenty and great life lessons along the way."
