‘Finding God at the City Dump: The George LeMaster Story’ tells story of Wayland man

LEWIS COUNTY, Mo. — “Finding God at the City Dump: The George LeMaster Story” from Christian Faith Publishing by author Dan Steinbeck is the true story of one man’s unexpected intervention that would change a life’s course forever.

“Finding God at the City Dump” tells LeMaster’s story of:

• Growing up in tiny Wayland in Clark County, Mo.;
• The alcoholism;
• The deliverance that God gave him starting at the dump;
• An incredible healing;
• The importance of caring friends; and
• The purpose God gave George that led to his salvation, participation in music, his eventual ministry and powerful testimony.

In a press release, Steinbeck shares, “It was Valentine’s Day 1982. After two decades of alcohol abuse and a growing list of related problems, George LeMaster Jr. had lost hope. He went to a place where he was familiar — the Wayland Dump, northeast of Wayland, Mo. He had scavenged things like bicycle parts and old fans from the dump for years and given them a new life.

“George took a handgun and was planning to end his life at the dump that cold February morning. Instead he found God in one small item at the dump he didn’t expect to see. That item caught his attention and changed his story when he was moments away from an irreversible and needless decision. Now it was George getting a new life, finding the love of Jesus, and rediscovering a love of his family.”

Steinbeck has several decades of experience as a writer, editor, photographer and publisher of a Lewis County, Mo., newspaper and has won several journalism contest awards.

The book is available at traditional brick and mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store and Barnes and Noble.
