They used to call the Indians the vanishing race, along with the buffalo. Stan Steiner, in his eloquent sequel to "The New Indians" says it is the white man who will one day vanish from the American West, choked by greed and smog in a land stripped of the water, fertility, and coal the Indians struggled for centuries to conserve. And it is the Indians, wiser in the ways of nature, who will survive, unless the lust for the white man's money saps their strength."--Taken from Amazon.com

I decided to offer a more cost effective version of my Devotional "Whispers In The Woods" so the interior pictures are all BLACK AND WHITE and NOT full color in this version.“This marvelous little devotional book teaches us about God's principles for our lives through the stories of the outdoors and God's creatures. It is amazing how Stan Lake has taken the lessons of life expressed in and through animals, insects, and nature to show with scripture the truth of God's creation. I met Stan when he was a student with us at the Vision for Evangelism for the Next Generation weekend at the Billy Graham Library. His heart is truly that others might know the One who created all. Stan uses nature and the Creator 's words to share creative devotions to build His Kingdom.” Tom PhillipsVice President, Billy Graham Evangelistic AssociationBilly Graham Library“It is with great pleasure I highly recommend STAN LAKE's wonderful book, WHISPERS in the WOODS! He found me through social media, gave a 'whisper' in the dark, and as fate would have it, through his persistence and my time availability, I was able to read it. I was thoroughly expecting a very worthy but 'holier than thou' approach- boy was I ever wrong! Stan has captured the most wonderful Essence of Nature and the Great Spirit in a way that connects us too our roots and Mother Earth, while touching our hearts and spirits with kind and wise words that refresh, nourish and tickle all at the same time. That is no small accomplishment. I am sure Stan would say, he had a guiding hand! If you need something to fill a dark space in your life, this enjoyable and easy read is like a cool drink of fresh water in the desert. This book brought me great joy!”Mykel HawkeRetired Special Forces Officer, Military & Contractor Combat Veteran, TV Host & Producer, Author, Designer, Black Belt and Family Counselor.

Stan is a voice crying from and for the wilderness to help us make our ways straight with the Lord's help.”Richard Norris DVM MBAFounder of Leading Men OnlyPerth, Scotland“If you have a love for our creator God and his handiwork then this devotional from Stan Lake highlights in a humorous and relevant way the constant inspiration that surrounds us and can be drawn from in our daily lives.Stan takes the everyday ignored aspects of creation and applies them to sound biblical teaching that we can all use to develop our walk with God.As someone who prefers to worship God in his creation I can draw a lot of parallels from Stan's teaching and appreciate the truth he reveals through the masters work.Whispers In The Woods will encourage you to pause, value and thank God for all he has done.”Clinton Kirkpatrick.

Historic covered bridges and current timber bridges can be vulnerable to damage from biodeterioration or fire. This guide describes procedures for selecting and applying in-place treatments to prevent or arrest these forms of degradation. Vulnerable areas for biodeterioration in covered bridges include members contacting abutments, members near the ends of bridges subject to wetting from splashing and members below windows or other openings that allow entry of wind-blown precipitation. Pressure-treated timber bridge members can be vulnerable when untreated wood is exposed by field fabrication or by the development of drying checks. The objective of an in-place preservative treatment is to distribute preservative into areas of a structure that are vulnerable to moisture accumulation and/or not protected by the original pressure treatment. Types of field treatments range from finishes, to boron rods or pastes, to fumigants. A limitation of in-place treatments is that they cannot be forced deeply into the wood as is done in pressure-treatment processes. However, some can be applied into the center of large members via treatment holes. These preservatives may be available as liquids, rods or pastes. Bridge members can be treated with fire retardants to delay ignition, reduce heat release, and slow the spread of flames. In-place coating products are available to reduce surface flammability, but these coatings may need to be reapplied on a regular basis if exposed to weathering. For more integrated protection, fire retardant treatment of bridge members may be combined with other forms of protection such as lights, alarms, sprinklers and monitoring systems.
