In Becoming by Being, author Dede W. Casad begins with her own
experience of personal growth. She describes the mountains to
climb, the paths of seeking and searching, the joys of
accomplishments, the lessons from disappointments and defeats, and
above all the thrill of the journey. In the introduction to her
book, the author writes: "So the becoming I seek is the becoming
that is to be achieved in being all that I am intended to be. And
the method I have begun to follow is the only becoming method I
know: to learn by doing and to become by being."
Stacy Lawrence had been burned too many times. Men were off her
list. Her job as Education Director for a large church was now her
main focus-until Harrison James Leeland showed up at her office
door. What could have been a perfect match almost turned into a
checkered match play with the danger of both losing what they most
desired. God used a single answer in a crossword puzzle to untangle
the Gordian knots of misguided ambitions and self-imposed mandates
in order for three people to find what love is all about.

When the Texas State Capitol burned to the ground in 1881, Texas
was land rich but cash poor. The state advertised 3,000,000 acres
of land in the Panhandle of Texas for the price of a new state
house. John Farwell, a merchant from Chicago, seized the
opportunity and made the deal; three million dollars for three
million acres of West Texas, where only stray cattle and Indians
occupied the land. Farwell's Folly is the story of the development
of that land into the XIT Ranch, the largest cattle ranch in the
world, stretching across ten counties and requiring 6,000 miles of
fencing. It has been more than 30 years since a book has come out
on the famous XIT ranch of Texas. Now Texas writer Dede Casad
brings this mystique of this historic ranch out of the tumble weeds
of West Texas into the modern age for readers who love to read
about the often forgotten tales of early Texas. Several earlier
books chronicled the rise and fall of the XIT Ranch, but Casad has
also roped in colorful stories of the first cowboys, cattle
rustling and cattlemen as entrepreneurs, and tied them into the
historical fiber of Texas. The idea of a man who lived in Chicago
purchasing three million acres of undeveloped territory in Texas,
sight unseen, takes one's breath away, even in this day and time.
Was it wise or as Casad suggests-folly? That's the story you don't
want to miss.
