It all began as a series of Sunday School lessons. Vern was a member of The Children's Ministry Department at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona. His role was curriculum designer and writer of Sunday School material, artist, and designer of stage sets. At times he was an actor (as shown in the inset as "Larry Att" for this theme). The department had done a variety of themes to present the children Bible and salvation messages. One of the themes was a Western theme called Conversion Ranch. This particular book is the result of those lessons.
