When I returned from an LDS Mission to Mexico City, my roommate’s father asked me what I wanted to do with my life.  I responded that I wanted to write a book. That was about 1981.  In 1986, I had the idea to write a book entitled “The Principle and Power of Thought.”  I began to write only to realize I still did not know enough to finish writing the book.  It was another 10 years before a young missionary challenged me, “It isn’t what you don’t know that matters, but what you know and can teach others that matters.”  I began writing once again and finished “The Climb of Faith” which took another 7 years to get it published. It was 4 years of being turned down by every LDS publisher that in 2000 I began to create SAbER Mountain Publishers and finally published the book in 2003.

This book was inspired by my dad in the last few days he was here on earth.  When I was with him taking care of him, once he turned to me and asked if my tail was still wagging.  I had to think about my answer but could tell him, “Yes dad, my tail is still wagging.  That has stuck with me since May of 1993, and I procure to keep my tail still waggin!
