WASILLA,
Alaska, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author
Doris Hagedorn gives readers a
fascinating view of the rugged Alaskan lifestyle in This Side of
the Past: Volume I, Alaska's
Port Alsworth ($13.99, paperback, 9781545659229; $25.99, hardcover, 9781545659236; $5.99, e-book, 9781545659243).
I not only knew the families of
Port Alsworth well, but the people
of Port Alsworth were a great
blessing and help to the people of the area, including me and my
co- worker.
In this first volume, Hagedorn presents a refreshing mix of the
Alaskan culture with spiritual encouragement. Her book shares the
lives of some amazing Americans, all blessed with roots in rural
Alaska. She introduces readers to
the Alsworth family through their story demonstrating how God's
Light penetrated the dark side of life in Alaska. From the earlier years — the land, its
people and what it took to live those years — to an interesting man
who had such a high interest in flying, a one-time wing-walker.
Witness how Babe and Mary Alsworth
worked hard, carved a home in the wilderness, and raised their
family while always taking an interest and care for others. Their
remarkable outreach, courage and grit (sprinkled with humor)
provides a great lesson aimed to encourage all to overcome
challenges through the grace of God.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Hagedorn
said, "I not only knew the families of Port Alsworth well, but the people of
Port Alsworth were a great
blessing and help to the people of the area, including me and my
co- worker."
Doris Hagedorn served in
Alaska for over 60 years, having
come to Alaska as a graduate of
Multnomah School of the Bible, now known as Multnomah Bible College. She was called by the
Lord, and served under Arctic Missions, Inc. Hagedorn is also the
author of This Side of the Past: Volume II, Dick and the Mission
Girls and This Side of the Past: Volume III, Meeting The Mission
Girls.
The knowledge she gained living in Alaska and loving its people have
well-qualified her to author these books that she enjoyed writing.
Hagedorn loves the Savior and loves people. She numbers herself
among the lost He came to save. She is ever thankful for His Word
and His Mercy, Grace and Love, which freed her to serve and reach
out in His name. She desires that her writings will be used of the
Lord to draw others into the fold and into a closer walk with God.
Hagedorn appreciates the privilege of knowing Christ and making Him
known as He opens the doors. Besides writing, her favorite interest
is the piano. She plays piano (in her God-given style) at
Wasilla's Donut King. For more
