"My Mother listened to the gospel every Sunday morning and every Sunday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon, Mom's radio was tuned to the Barrie radio station. It was the late 1940s. At 3:00 pm, a program was on the air from Edmonton, Alberta. Ernest Manning was the preacher, and the name of the broadcast was "Canada's National Back to the Bible Broadcast." After sixty years of having studied this man and following his career, I firmly believe that the man who was elected in seven consecutive elections as Premier of Alberta, and who never faced a close election in his entire political career, a man who still can be heard on repeat broadcasts of Canada's National Bible Broadcast, is one of Canada's greatest people."

Ron Pegg has been an active believer and follower of Jesus Christ for more than seventy-five years. This book is about the growth of his faith over that time and how it continues to grow today. The main ministry God has given him is a ministry to young people. He often states that young people are his lifeblood. He taught high school for thirty-four years and has been a volunteer coach of 213 teams, many of whom have won provincial championships. He has coached seven boys who have gone on to play in the NHL. Ron was a Sunday school superintendent for more than twenty years and was the leader of a Vacation Bible School for almost fifteen years. This year will mark sixty-six years of serving as a lay supply preacher. He continues to work on community events and projects that many of his former students are involved in. Many of these former students are good friends, as some are approaching their late sixties. Family is extremely important to Ron. He and his wife Cathy, to whom he has been married for fifty-five years this summer, are enjoying their new home in Mount Forest. They are blessed by their three children and spouses, who provide Christian leadership in their environments-and then there are the fourteen grandbabies!
