I'm enjoying it SO much. This guy was one of Alaska's foremost hunting and fishing guides. He was the son of an Alaskan missionary and a seminary graduate.

"For twenty years he has been a professional guide in that state. His knowledge of the primitive frontier along with his warm, hospitable manner adds an unprecedented dimension to his credentials as a master fishing and registered hunting guide.

He is esteemed as a friend by many who have been under his guide: Pres. George Bush, Sr.; General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager; Major League Baseball player Dave Dravecky; Bob Seiple, president of World Vision; Pastor Chuck Swindoll, and Oakland A's pitcher Mike Moore to name only a few."

I recommend the book. I think you'd enjoy it as much as I am if you have a liking for this kind of writing and real life adventure stories like I do.

Check this out .... "Wild Men, Wild Alaska".

I've always enjoyed reading about the pioneers of our faith. One of my favorite writers in our movement who chronicled many of those pioneers through her writing was Mary Wallace. I have several of her books in my library like, God answers Prayer, Profiles of Pentecostal Missionaries and Old-Time Preacher Men.

Reading about the adventures of great missionaries like E. Ellis, D. Sheets and F. Scott inspired me and gave me faith that nothing was impossible when you follow the call of God.

My favorite and most meaningful read in my collection would be Gene Edwards, A Tale of Three Kings. It brought a new awareness that being broken sometimes was required in order to bring forth healing.

I've read each of those.

The Making of a Man of God by Alan Redpath is an awesome study on the life of David and should be required reading for those desiring to do a work for God. It hits "below the belt" at times but it is an eyeopener in a lot of areas!!

I love those as well.
