"Listen, Em, I'll tell you a secret. I believe we are really going to make a machine that flies. You'll see," said Orville.And Orville was right Together he and his brother made America's very first flying machine. But Emerson Chadwick had his own problems. His foremost concern was to make enough money so that he could get away from his cousin Lem. Just when his little tin box was almost full enough to suit him, the money mysteriously disappeared.But Em wasn't licked yet Money or no money, he was going to make it on his own, and that's exactly what he did. He went a long way before he learned that there was an easier way to fly than flying machines. Emerson Chadwick made his own flight-on "Wings of Faith."

In the middle of Cornwall, near the ancient city of Truro, lies a small village named Twelveheads. Here on the first of June, 1794, a baby boy named Billy Bray was born. Billy served the devil with all his might in his early years, often drinking and frolicking the night away. He rarely came home sober. Twice he was nearly killed, once in a mine accident and again as he drunkenly rode a stolen horse. Finally a copy of John Bunyan's "Visions of Heaven and Hell" came into his hands. Convicted and miserable, he woke one morning and knelt by his bedside, asking God to save his soul. Billy Bray became a fervent soul winner. It is said that he never met a person without inquiring as to the condition of his soul. He became a frequent speaker at meetings, urging his fellow miners and neighbors to come to Christ. He became a wonder to all who knew him. "They said I was a mad-man," recalled Billy in later life, "but they meant I was a glad-man, and glory be to God I have been glad ever since." Billy Bray died at 74 years of age, still praising the Lord.

Reuben gazes over the charred remains the Northern soldiers had left of his family home at the end of the Civil War. Everything is gone. He had spent months fighting for the South--starving, sick, and putting his life on the line--only to return to this black mass of nothing. At that moment he vows to rebuild his legacy and to have a future of wealth and success that no one or nothing can take away from him.In this fascinating story, read about a young man who tries to do everything on his own, and even succeeds in making a fortune and rebuilding not only his home, but his community. Something is missing, however, and when he is asked about God, he begins to wonder if maybe even more is possible if he relies on God's strength instead of his own. As he reads Daniel and Revelation and puts God to the test, his life is changed forever.
