Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes; fathers that children with their judgment looked; and either may be wrong. . . . Men from children nothing differ. And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. William Shakespeare (proud to be included in this fine book)

Author Information

Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Brian has since lived all over the planet. From Navajo Land in Arizona to the far-flung steppes of Mongolia, the Hogans' had more than thirty homes on five continents. Brian enjoys history and climbing out as far as he can on the branches of his family tree. The boys in this book were all found on those long and thick branches. Traveling extensively, Brian speaks all over the world and teaches young people to live and work in cultures very different from those they grew up in. He is passionate to let every nation know about God's open invitation to join His family. Raised in the tiny town of Fraser, Colorado (400 residents at the time), Helen has lived in such varied places as New York City; Salmon, Idaho; Desamparados, Costa Rica; and Dambadarjaa, Outer Mongolia. In Mongolia she homeschooled missionary kids from Kindergarten to eighth grade and taught English as a second language to ages four through seventy. Helen was also helped begin the first Christian Women's meetings in Mongolia, that eventually became Women's AGLOW Mongolia. She returned to the United States in 1996, where she currently resides with her husband and dogs in Southwest Colorado. Helen's many travels to Europe, Asia and the Middle East, has given her a deep love and appreciation of historical time and place, which made working on this book a thorough delight. Helen and the author served together in Mongolia in the first half of the 1990s. Graphic Design. Photo. Video. Creativity has followed me around all my life. No matter where I found myself I ran face first into it. After many years of frustration and failed attempts to avoid its nagging ability I decided to befriend it. Peace has been made and a happy relationship has been formalized. We currently live happily ever after creating and designing. Heath and his wife have lived in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, South Africa; Brady, Montana; Portland, Oregon and the Central Valley of California.
