The Lower Mount Washington Valley became the gateway to the entire valley in the 1700s. Settlers saw both the scenery and the possibilities of the deep and steady rivers for water power and travel, the timber for homes, the rich earth for planting, and the abundance of food in forests and streams. The early years were not easy, and men and women faced the challenges of the wilderness: hard work, fierce wildlife, possible injury, and loneliness. Seeking companionship, families bonded together and created a sense of community amidst the mountains and valleys of New Hampshire's expansive north country. This collection of photographs, many never before published, graphically illustrates the beauty of the area, the strength and character of its people, and the simple and practical lines of the early homes, mills, and one-room schoolhouses. It depicts the gradual changes that took place over a century of life, from the 1850s to the 1950s. Tough, strong men and women, the early settlers often became landowners of substance. They left a legacy of the same qualities to their descendants, many of whom are still living in the Lower Mount Washington Valley.

Luke 21:2–3 By the world's standards, two small coins don't amount to much. But the widow in Luke's story didn't just give two small coins—she gave everything she had. Everything we have is our Creator's. In Faithful with Much, authors Tony and Carin Amaradio share their compelling journey from simply seeking wealth to understanding God's heart about money and possessions. Drawing from their vast experience in the financial services industry and wisdom born out of some difficult life lessons, Tony and Carin offer practical, biblical advice on how to think about the challenges of being faithful with our wealth. and, most important, how to give it away. Faithful with Much is a book about how to be wise stewards of God's money. It's a handbook for charitable giving. And more than that, it's a book about radical trust. Are you ready to trust God with your wealth for the good of His kingdom?
