Overview


Bruce Blair was born into a South Dakota farming family, experiencing the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, locust plagues, and storms that stole the harvests on which the family depended. After marriage and the loss of a newborn son, another son, Larry, was found to have a life-threatening heart defect. Out of this dark time, came a searching for life's meaning and spiritual rebirth. From then till now, miracles followed Bruce and his family. God spared Larry's life from drowning and later provided a bumper harvest to pay for an expensive operation. God protected him financially, when his loaned, uninsured farm truck, collided with a car. Bruce himself was buried alive, when a pipe ditch collapsed. God directed the rescue of a friend from financial ruin, leading him to a life of ministry. His story of a barren cow and a foreign mission, is amazing proof that God exists. In his eighties, a serious fall down a flight of stairs brought an unexpected and miraculous outcome. "Buried Alive" reveals the unsearchable riches of Christ that are available on one's journey through life. Biblical references, mostly from the King James Version of the Bible, and Christian living principles, are cited.

Bruce Blair was born in 1926 in Geddes, South Dakota. He is a US Navy veteran, having served in the South Pacific during World War II. Shortly after being married, he became a farmer, with his wife, Donna, taking over the family farm. He started Blair Pipeline, Inc. in the 1960s and in 1975 sold the farm to focus on his pipeline business. He retired in 1986 and started to winter in Arizona; he moved there in 1990. In the 1990s he started to write down the many things that had happened to him over time so that his grandchildren might come to know God and how he had loved Him. Not only has Bruce had these inspiring life experiences, but he has also explored his artistic talents as a wood sculptor. While some of his works have been sold, many still adorn his home. While a farmer Bruce became a pilot and has since logged hundreds of hours in command of several kinds of single engine aircraft. He and his wife of sixty-five years now live in Maricopa, Arizona, with their daughter, Elaine.
