The Magic and the Mill Pete Madsen

Just as flowing mill water glitters in the sunlight, this faith-based book flows through the years, helping to illuminate the lives of author, Pete Madsen, and his wife, Marie's past ancestors, taking us all back to a more reminiscent time of horse-drawn wagons, feed mills, and daily survival. Pete and Marie's lives were influenced by the loving reality of The Magic impacting the actions and lives of their ancestors, who originated in Europe and traveled to the United States to create a new life for themselves. Based on the true-life stories surrounding a flour mill in Wisconsin, the two families precipitated various chains of events over centuries that culminated in the modern-day meeting of an unsuspecting couple in an obscure kitchen in Lewiston, Idaho. This book illustrates how our actions of today become operative agents upon the lives of future generations of our families. These present actions lend great significance and credence to the subsequent historical stories to be revealed to tomorrow's generations; our presence in the past will become known by the presents we leave behind for our ancestors to contemplate in the future.
