THE COVENANT FAMILY

About the Book

In The Covenant Ten, the Higgs siblings have written about struggle and triumph, faith and character. It’s about a family who dared to challenge the odds of life, who looked beyond what was visible, and like Abraham, they “counted those things that were not as though they were.” This family lived in the little village of Bottle Creek, and as fate would have it, they suffered many hardships—often in succession. This together with tough economic times, sometimes threatened their very existence, but they made a commitment that all of them would make it; there would be none left behind.
