Fireflies is not a book about flying insects, but rather about tiny flickers of God's illumination opening our spiritual eyes to His lessons in nature. This is a fresh approach to a Christian devotional book. Happenings on the ranch and farm are related as they actually occurred. The spiritual applications, as the author felt impressed upon him by the Holy Spirit, are unusual. His insight gained from associating with animals and plants in their living processes is both entertaining and enlightening. The author's fascinating stories are not necessarily in chronological order, but they do encompass the broad, practical side of country life and show how it relates to all of us in our Christian experience.As a man's spirituality is one of the most personal and private aspects of his life, the author has courageously chosen to share some of his special experiences with you.
Ron Stout was raised in Los Angeles, California, and earned his BA in premedicine at Occidental College. Following two Korean tours as a Navy officer on a destroyer, Ron attended LIFE Bible College, majoring in biblical Greek and theology and graduating with a BTh. With children arriving, Ron worked in a corporate office in Los Angeles while attending USC in the evenings as a graduate student in the School of Business. Ron and his family then moved to San Diego County, where Ron spent 21 years in the stock market as a broker, a branch manager of an NYSE member firm, and an independent registered investment advisor. Many of the experiences in this book occurred while Ron and his wife, Corinne, were living on their beautiful ranch in Julian, California. They then moved to Arizona, where Ron studied agriculture at the University of Arizona. The Stouts plunged into apple orchards and the Cider Mill, a highly visible retail operation on Interstate 10. Today, Ron and Corinne live on their Arizona ranch, with their daughter, Robin, and her family living nearby.
