Bob – The Prairie Son
Bob – The Prairie Son recounts Bob Wahl’s childhood on a Mennonite farm in drought-ridden Saskatchewan from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Amid hard labor, brutal winters, and ingenious improvisation without electricity or plumbing, he learns resilience, faith, and community spirit. Stories of river trips, runaway machinery, schoolyard adventures, and evolving farm technology paint a vivid, humorous portrait of prairie life and the values that shaped a generation.
About the Book
LOVE NEVER ENDS
Love Never Ends records Bob Wahl’s ten-year battle as primary caregiver when his wife Beverley develops vascular dementia. Blending diary excerpts, medical notes, and faith reflections, he traces her steady decline—from early disorientation and falls to full-time lifts, long-term care, and her peaceful passing on his 82nd birthday. The memoir offers practical guidance for caregivers while affirming that enduring love and Christian faith sustain grief and give suffering meaning.
About the Book
Contending with Horses
Contending with Horses charts Bob Wahl’s transformation from Saskatchewan farm boy to globe-roaming entrepreneur, Bible teacher, and missionary. Beginning with his Mennonite ancestors’ four-century trek from Holland through Russia to Canada, Wahl recounts nights praying beside a tractor, hitch-hiking to Bible school, marrying in Chicago, and launching a dizzying string of ventures—auto sales, jewelry, engine additives, import businesses—that finance ministry dreams.
Later, he pioneers youth camps in Germany and Austria and preaches in blackout-plagued Ukrainian churches. Cancer, depression, and his wife’s decade-long dementia devastate yet refine his steadfast, grace-anchored faith.
