Discover The Book of Todd
Explore the two books that tell the story of W. Todd Lindsay's journey of faith, family, cowboy life, leadership, and perseverance.
The Book of Todd: God Was Preparing Me All Along looks back over a lifetime and reveals how experiences that once seemed unrelated were actually preparing Todd for what God had ahead.
The Book of Todd: From the Gate to the Crown continues that journey through unforgettable stories from rodeo, ranching, the Navy, family, leadership, and life's hardest challenges—all tied together by a growing understanding of faith and God's purpose.
These are more than stories about one man's life. They are stories about second chances, broken barriers, getting back in the saddle, trusting God with the reins, and discovering that He was there all along.
Two books. One journey. One faith. And a story that is still being written.

The Wyatt West Books
Western adventures where cowboy life, family, character, and life lessons come together.
Ranching with Wyatt West
Ranching with Wyatt West introduces young readers to the traditions and adventures of life on a ranch through the eyes of Wyatt West. From horses and cattle to hard work and responsibility, Wyatt discovers that being a cowboy is about much more than wearing boots and a hat.
Inspired by the Western way of life, W. Todd Lindsay created Wyatt West to share values that have been passed from one generation of cowboys to the next—responsibility, perseverance, respect, family, and doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
The Adventures of Wyatt West
The journey continues in The Adventures of Wyatt West, where Wyatt experiences more of the challenges, excitement, and lessons that come with growing up around horses, ranching, and the cowboy way of life.
Each new adventure gives Wyatt another opportunity to learn about courage, responsibility, friendship, hard work, and making good choices while enjoying the freedom and excitement of life in the American West.
Stories for the Next Generation
The Wyatt West books are written for children, but they are also for parents and grandparents who want to share the traditions, values, and spirit of the cowboy way of life with the next generation.
These stories remind young readers that being a cowboy isn't just about horses, cattle, boots, and hats. It's about character—how you treat people, how you handle responsibility, and what you do when nobody is watching.
So grab your hat, pull on your boots, and saddle up with Wyatt West. There's always another adventure—and another lesson—waiting beyond the next gate.
