TEACH Services received the following review: “Cowboy, lay pastor, and author Dan Rotthoff is a good friend of mine, and I am honored to share a paragraph about his new book, A Family Blessed. I was blessed and enriched as I read the manuscript. His pen bleeds with ethos as he looks back at the adventurous nine decades of his life and spills his treasure trove of memories onto the pages of his life story. He does a masterful job of telling his story that spans the spectrum from the predictable to the unpredictable, the serious to the humorous, and the sad to the joyful. A major theme he carefully weaves throughout his family history is God’s providential leading and watch care of Rotthoff and his family. He gives the credit and glory to God for all the positive and good that he experiences in life. He concludes the book by extending a genuine and heart-felt appeal to the reader to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, and to experience the joys of salvation. A Family Blessed is interesting, inspirational, and engaging. You must spend time between the covers of this memoir!” ~ David Prest Jr., President, Idaho Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Inc.

TEACH Services received the following review: "It’s impossible to capture a lifetime in a book. What’s clear in reading Dan Rotthoff’s story is that his life has made and impact. This is a story of determination, hard work and flexibility. Dan isn’t afraid of hard work or adapting his strategy as new opportunities appeared. It’s hard to describe Dan. Most men are identified by what they did for work and he’s done a lot of different things including working as a farmer, trapper, sawmill owner, Army Airborne, salesman, business owner, rancher, outfitter, and missionary. You could describe him for his adventures which he had many. He also is a devoted son, husband, father and patriarch of the family. But what stands out to me is that he is a man of character that others trust and is faithful in the tasks he is given. I’ve known Dan for many years and am thankful for him writing this book that allowed me to appreciate him and our God even more." ~ Chuck Hagele, Project Patch Executive Director
