Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In a story that spans one-fourth of America's history, Ken Peery reveals what can be accomplished when a person learns to Delight yourself in the Lord. (Ps. 37:4) From the story of how his ancestors came to America, to small town life in the Midwest, to Naval service during World War II, to a distinguished career in law and Christian mediation, to political involvement, to a miraculous medical recovery, Ken's story is not only all-American, it is a compelling story of the benefits of delighting in the Lord. What is a methobapterian? What is Justice? How do you define it? Can it be defined? What would you do if you and your mate were seriously sunburned on your honeymoon? Re-live trips through the Gorges of the upper Yangtze River. Ken Peery was born in 1925 and raised and nurtured in Emporia, Kansas. After service in the US Navy in WWII, Ken practiced law in Emporia, did a seven year stint as a lawyer in a government agency in Washington, DC, and, in 1962, re-entered law practice in Concordia, Kansas. In 1982 he escaped from law practice to establish Christian conciliation programs in the Kansas City area and later in Bentonville and Rogers, Arkansas. Ken and Doris, his wife, have been married 56 years. They are the parents of two sons, grandparents of six grandchildren and have two great- grandsons. The Peerys live in Topeka, Kansas.

A False Report

A True Story of Rape in America

By: T. Christian Miller,Ken Armstrong

Now the Netflix Limited Series Unbelievable, starring Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, and Kaitlyn Dever • Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists tell the riveting true crime story of a teenager charged with lying about having been raped—and the detectives who followed a winding path to arrive at the truth. “Gripping . . . [with a] John Grisham–worthy twist.”—Emily Bazelon, New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) On August 11, 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man broke into her apartment near Seattle, Washington, and raped her. Within days police and even those closest to Marie became suspicious of her story. The police swiftly pivoted and began investigating Marie. Confronted with inconsistencies in her story and the doubts of others, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie—a bid for attention. Police charged Marie with false reporting, and she was branded a liar. More than two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to investigate a case of sexual assault. Describing the crime to her husband that night, Galbraith learned that the case bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. She joined forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, and the two soon discovered they were dealing with a serial rapist: a man who photographed his victims, threatening to release the images online, and whose calculated steps to erase all physical evidence suggested he might be a soldier or a cop. Through meticulous police work the detectives would eventually connect the rapist to other attacks in Colorado—and beyond. Based on investigative files and extensive interviews with the principals, A False Report is a serpentine tale of doubt, lies, and a hunt for justice, unveiling the disturbing truth of how sexual assault is investigated today—and the long history of skepticism toward rape victims.

A History the Spirit of San Angelo

By: Ken Peery

In this book, Ken Peery tells the amazing story of the coming of faith and civilization to West Texas and San Angelo. From the earliest of planting of the Gospel by early Spanish explorers in southwest America, the city came into being because of the opening of Fort Concho by the Army. Agriculture, ranching, the buffalo and finally the striking of oil all combined to grow the city. Today the Spirit flourishes in the Queen City of West Texas. The reader will be excited to trace the growth as these chapters unfold the story. Four men walk across North America from sea to sea, surviving on prickly pears, pecans and roots. Grand Canyon and the Mouth of the Colorado River discovered. First Negro graduate of West Point served at Ft. Concho. Miss Hattie's, a popular bordello, entered via a tunnel under the street with access through a bank. A retired buffalo soldier worked as a carpenter and ranch hand until he died in 1957 at the age of 107. A woman with a shotgun faced down an angry mob of soldiers. Tuberculosis patients came to San Angelo to regain their health in the dry climate. Ken Peery, retired attorney, lives in Topeka, Kansas, with his wife, Doris, of nearly 60 years. They have two sons, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. This is his second book. His first book "Desires of My Heart - A Lawyers' Journey from Law to Justice" was published by Xulon Press in 2009. Thanks to the artist of the cover Hugh Campbell III of San Angelo and to Roger Sidener, also of San Angelo, for permission to use the image - RIO GRANDE RIVER - BIG BEND
