Synopsis:

The Thirty Years’ War? The Reformation? The Counter Reformation? The Peace of Augsburg? Most Americans of European descent have no idea how these and other pivotal historical events shaped the lives of their ancestors and ultimately impacted their own. The first book in the Undaunted Quest series, The Patience, follows the spiritually motivated journey of two German families from their beloved but conflicted homeland to the shores of an unformed country in the mid-eighteenth century. In Part One, The Patience, the sacrifice these families paid in their quest for freedom and a better life is clearly depicted in one ancestor’s detailed journal, giving us an appreciation for their extreme sacrifice in coming to America. Part Two, The Dakotas, follows other immigrants and their related families over the Allegheny Mountains and westward into Pennsylvania, southeastern Ohio, Iowa, and ultimately to their homesteads in South Dakota. The descendants of these great people helped establish the United States of America and ultimately forged the American westward movement. Learn about these courageous, sacrificing families to better understand your own. Book 2 in the Undaunted Quest series, The Rock of Molum, sheds light on the Irish exodus through the experiences of four immigrant Irish families to America on the heels of the Irish Potato Famine. Learn what drove them from poverty in Ireland to prosperity in America. Somewhere in the South Pacific, Book 3, is the story of a WWII GI who gave his life at the Huggin’s Roadblock on the Sanananda Trail during the battle known as Buna, New Guinea. He fought the evil of his day to preserve the freedom of ours. The series continues with Strength Instilled, a story of growing up on an Iowa farm, a life now known only in the history books, and Weakness Embraced which underscores a fundamental lesson learned over a lifetime.

About the Author: Tim Cavanaugh grew up on the family farm his grandfather purchased in 1917 and a few miles from the farming accident that claimed his great-grandfather’s life. He developed a love for his family heritage from an early age and discovered his ancestral home in Ireland. He made many trips to Ireland over the years and became good friends with many in his ancestral home of Kilmacow. He graduated from Lohrville Community High School and entered Iowa State University in the fall of 1971. Upon graduating with a double major in Industrial Administration and Psychology, Tim worked with a Christian ministry on the campus for three years. In 1979, Tim moved to the University of Florida to help establish a campus ministry which his sister and brother-in-law, Matt and Jan Gordon, still lead. While in Florida, he married Julie Johnson of Havelock, Iowa in 1981 and was ordained a pastor by the Great Commission Association of Churches in 1983. Tim and his family moved to Denver, Colorado in 1988 to help establish Northside Community Church and received his Masters of Divinity degree from Denver Theological Seminary and later his doctorate in Family Counseling from Masters International School of Divinity. He and Julie are the proud parents of six children and six grandchildren: Erin and Paul Pavlik (Jonah, Jude, Idelette, Morrow); Caitlyn and Luke Bergman (Margaret and Ben), Ryan, Christopher, William, and Fiona Cavanaugh.
