About the Book

"Steps into God's Country" begins with a child just learning about nature - to an adult who respects the land and what it has to offer. Russell Smith shows us how families teach their children about how to provide for themselves and their families while protecting the balance of nature. Heartwarming stories about growing up - that move on to stories about the experiences and dangers of communing with nature. Sharing his experiences in God's country with family, friends and strangers, Mr. Smith brings the reader into his world of hunting, fishing and the outdoors, and why he loves it. Learn, laugh, cry and enjoy as the 396 pages and 78 photographs guide you on a journey through one little boy's outdoor adventures as he becomes a grown man with children and grandchildren of his own. "I had a strong desire to get outside as a child and I didn't realize it was probably just something in my genes all along," said Russell. Though Russell Smith has written hunting, fishing and outdoor stories for nearly thirty years, the book was only put together after a woman said, "I don't hunt and fish myself but I truly enjoy the human interest way you tell your stories." "Steps into God's Country is a truly enjoyable read!" wrote Professional Angler and Outdoor Television Host Joe Thomas. "Russell's memory and attention to detail made me feel as if I were right there beside him every step of the way. As a fellow hunter and fisherman, I could truly relate to his passion for the Outdoors." Will Primos, Founder of Primos Hunting, noted, "Russell writes with love for the life he has been so fortunate to lead. He writes about what influenced him as a young man growing up, how much his extended family meant to him, and his appreciation for being able to walk in God's country. This book chronicles all those things that make up a life well lived." Have you ever seen a solid white jackrabbit in the wild? You will within the pages of Steps into God's Country. You will learn how the image was captured on film. Do you like to hunt and fish? The pages are filled with those accounts. If you enjoy history, there are pages and photos about families that crossed paths after they came to America to find their dreams. Included are accounts from the American Revolution to a life along Montell and Cedar Creeks and the Nueces River in Uvalde County, Texas. Do you recognize the names of Daniel Boone and Thomas Jefferson? They are there too. Have an interest in the American cowboy? Read Steps into God's Country.
About the Author: Russell S. Smith was born in Uvalde, Texas. He started writing poems and short stories long before he graduated from high school in 1969. He attended Southwest Texas Junior College, Howard College and Angelo State University; the majority of his classes dealt with criminal justice. His law enforcement career began as a reserve deputy with the Tom Green County Sheriff's Department in 1977 and ended when he retired as the San Angelo's Police Chief in 1999. This experience spurred his professional writing career when he sold his first article to a police trade magazine in 1980. Russell was appointed as a Tom Green County Justice of the Peace in 2003. Unopposed in the following elections, he retired December 31, 2010. From 1998 to 2003, Russell was an outdoor columnist for the San Angelo Standard-Times and several magazines. The Gun That Wasn't There was his first non-fiction book. His second was No Reason to Kill; about the murder of Sheila Elrod, a 20-year-old San Angelo girl killed during a jewelry store robbery in 1980. His third was One Policeman's Lights and Siren which is a collection of short stories about his early police career. His outdoor memoirs "Steps into God's Country" comes after writing in the outdoor field for nearly 30 years. Russell has received numerous awards over the years for his writing and photography from the Texas Outdoor Writers' Association. He now writes a periodic outdoor column for the San Angelo Standard-Times as he researches other projects and writes from his home in San Angelo, Texas. He and his wife Linda have been married 39 years. They have two married children and four grandchildren.
