Historical, cultural and spiritual insights come together in this memoir about the relationship between father and son
COCOA, Fla., April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Roy Harrell marks his entry in the world of publishing with "God Builds A Cowboy: One Scar At A Time" (published by Archway Publishing), a deeply personal and thought-provoking collection of stories that spans over a century of life and faith. This memoir offers readers an intimate look at the lives of the author and his father, Judge Marion "Little Speedy" Harrell, blending history, culture, and spirituality in a way that is both compelling and inspiring.
In "God Builds A Cowboy: One Scar At A Time," Harrell reflects on the lives of two men as they lived from the early 1900s into the 21st century, exploring the themes of love, pain, growth, and redemption. Through the lens of the cowboy spirit, Harrell draws readers into a world where faith and perseverance are tested by life's challenges. His stories illustrate how God's grace works in miraculous ways, even through the hardest trials.
"This book is part history, part culture and all testimony of my life," says Harrell. "The book will inspire those with a desire to know the past and seek to dive into the culture of that time. It will allow the reader to reflect on life and the choices that one makes and the wisdom that grows. Hat or Boots, Saddle or Spurs, Horse or lariat — none of this makes a Cowboy. It's the Heart that yearns, a Soul that seeks and a Spirit that burns for truth. That is the foundation of a true Cowboy."
"God Builds A Cowboy: One Scar At A Time" is set to resonate with readers from all walks of life, offering timeless truths wrapped in stories of the American heartland. It is a book that will make readers reflect on their own journey and the ways in which God has shaped their lives. The book is avaible through select retailers and may be purchased directly at https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/828456-god-builds-a-cowboy.
