Dr. Theresa A. Harris-Tigg grew up in a two-parent-family, loving home with four siblings. From childhood through her teenage years, she lived in two remarkable homes, one an apartment over a printing store and the other the family’s first and only single-family residence. At eighteen, she was kicked out of the family home because she was pregnant. In Through These Doors, she offers a first-hand account of her trajectory as a teenage mom and child bride to earning the highest education degree offered. Narrating with kindness and honesty, she provides a vibrant, behind-the-scenes chronological account of her life and how it is interwoven with God’s grace and mercy. This memoir chronicles one woman’s lived experiences, resilience, and belief as she navigated through racism, teen pregnancy, paternity, friendships, Black-girl’s-rock success, trust, and what she uncovered about life. Through her story, Harris-Tigg helps others grasp life’s spiritual characteristics, recognize God’s power, and acknowledge God’s handiwork in our lives.

Through These Doors and Beyond is a history of First Evangelical Lutheran Church taken from early records and stories shared by members of the church. The history answers questions about the beginning of traditions and describes changes that have taken place over the past 150 years. It tells the story of a church established in 1860 by German immigrants who came to a new country and settled in Wisconsin shortly after it became a state. These settlers in the Beaver Dam area brought skills and talents important to the development of a new land. They also brought strong religious beliefs resulting in the formation of the Lutheran Society in the community. As the history of the church reveals there is a long tradition of keeping pace with the needs on the local scene as well as reaching out beyond its doors.

If these old walls could talk, would you listen? When a house has a story to tell, historical events to relate and lives to share, it should be given a voice; especially when the house is French and possesses a certain "je ne sais quoi". "Through These Doors: the Manoir at Bout L'Abbé" tells of the German occupation of Normandy during WWII and the scars left on their unwilling French hosts. A fragile coexistence between the factions struggling for control of Normandy is born, while internal conflicts between certain German officers and their Nazi leaders complicate the impossible relationship between a young French girl and the soldier she finds herself drawn to. It also speaks of Debra, the American woman who convinces her French husband to buy the manor house in the 1980's. She finds herself listening to whispers of previous occupants and being accused of insanity because of it. Still, the house will not be silent and Debra submits to its dubious support as her stormy relationship unfolds.

The title, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, was actually birthed three years prior to the writing of the book. When the author was inspired and compelled to write the story of his life three years later in 2017, his remembrance of a spiritual experience that took place in 2014 would be the stimulus to consider the title. This spiritual experience was an actual visitation and sighting of a golden eagle. This experience became his motivation to choose the title. The title chosen is really a metaphor of sorts and symbolic representation of the author's spiritual eyesight wanting to convey this compelling story as seen through his eyes. When the visitation and sighting took place in August 2014, the author knew there was a higher spiritual connotation to be understood. Yearning for the meaning, the author researched the significance. What the author learns put his compelling story of his life into perspective. He realizes the significance of this sighting was proportionate precisely and relative to what he had been through in his life and what he had learned from a higher perspective. What he learned and already understood were the specifics of spiritual messages that the eagle is trying to convey when one is visited by one. Specifically, when the eagle appears, one is to be fully aware, to be courageous, and to stretch one's limits. Look at things from a new and higher perspective, and know that the future holds possibilities that one may not be able to see. Additionally, with respect to its symbolism and powers, the eagle conveys powers and messages of the spirit. It is man's connection to the divine. In this sighting, the author learns and understands that the eagle bestows freedom and courage to look ahead, and the lesson of the sighting is that one must have the courage to relinquish the state of comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and realities. On that particular day of his life, it seemed to the author that the lessons learned summed up his entire life story. After this magnificent experience, friends, with whom he had shared the spiritual experience of the eagle sighting with, gave him the name Eagle because of his spiritual eyesight and its accuracy. In their opinion, his eyesight was as impeccable as the eyesight of an eagle. The name given stuck and became a profound inspiration to the author to eventually convey this compelling and inspirational story as seen through his eyes, the eyes of the eagle.
