DOWNLOAD EBOOKSander Grant is no ordinary cattle rancher, for Sander Grant is a giant. He comes from a long line of giant men, the result of the union of wayward angels and mortal women mentioned in Genesis. And as if his prolific size weren't proof enough of his unusual lineage, he is able to communicate with his grandfather who was buried some years back on the ranch. Sander's discovery of his family's troubled history has opened up some festering old wounds. But God is determined to keep him from spilling the beans: He strikes out preemptively at Sander's mother, then at his cattle, blighting them with mad cow disease. It seems He'll stop at nothing. Sander's day of reckoning is fast approaching ... A modern-day fable with a big heart, The Legend of Sander Grant is poignant, funny and full of charm.
