The small ramshackle house sat on a knoll littered with rocks and boulders. The place was called The Rock Pile, and to Paul (the young Pablo Yoder), it was home.

Paul had a loving dad who provided for his family and reached out to neighbors, a devoted mom who supported her mission-minded husband and cared for her children, and a flock of adventurous brothers and sisters.

In Home on the Rock Pile little Paul and his brothers and sisters explore orchards, fields, and mountains. They troop through the snow to help needy neighbors. They meet dangerous snakes and befriend baby skunks. They work, play, scrap with each other, and learn some lessons the hard way. They listen to their dad preach and talk to people about Jesus. They are taught the importance of honesty and obedience and helping others. They learn to worship—to sing and pray for family needs and for their neighbors' souls.

Home on the Rock Pile is a fascinating look at the Sanford Yoder family in the early years of their work in the Blue Ridge hollows near Faith Mission Home.
