When the Dust Bowl threatened the lives and prosperity of many in Northwest Kansas, Dane G. Hansen stepped in to help. Farmers in the area were filing bankruptcy and leaving Kansas as the land dried up and there was no way to make a living. For many in the counties near his home in Logan, Mr. Hansen purchased the farms and immediately leased them back to the families he bought them from. That allowed the families to stay home in Kansas, and when the rains returned and farming was again viable, they were able to prosper as tenant farmers.

Written over the course of sixteen years and fine-tuned in the spring of 2020, Ryan L. Stewart had his book, “The Complete Psalms in Meter” published. This labor of love, patience and commitment began in 1996 after the passing of his grandmother, Mabel (Stewart) Anderson. He was inspired by a book his grandfather, Ira, carried everywhere: a 1911 printing of the 1650 Scottish Psalter, one of the earliest versions of the Psalms in meter. Stewart decided he would take on the task of creating a more modern version. His book also offers bullet point commentary for each chapter, intended to help the reader better understand the Psalms by providing interesting facts and additional insight into the verses. It is Stewart’s sincere hope that others enjoy the work and perhaps learn something new of our loving God in the process.
