Who Will Carry the Fire? (Paperback)

Paperback. Who Will Carry the Fire? More Reflections from a North Woods Lake by Darrell J. Pedersen thoughtfully examines the value of human history, traditions, memories, and relationships and reiterates the importance of preserving and faithfully passing these along to the next generation. Through a collection of essays and the retellings of his early days as a son, brother, husband, and father, Pedersen shows readers that we all have been gifted these irreplaceable stories by those who came before us. These remembered stories will work to keep the thread of storytelling alive while passing down the life-giving flames of laughter, human community, and hope to our children and future generations. Using a blend of wisdom, humor, reflection, and life stories in Minnesota, Pedersen expertly weaves a book that is both a memoir/collection of essays and a celebration of life. Starting on a 1950s North Woods Lake, Darrell Pedersen weaves everyday life stories, laughter, challenge, tears, to invite us to reflect upon all the people who loved, worked, and sacrificed to enable the quality of life we know. Then he challenges that together we can leave the world a better place than we found it.
