Paddling the Yukon River and its Tributaries Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Maclean, Dan
$19.95
Paddling the Yukon and its Tributaries covers more than 4,000 miles of watery trail. The Yukon, Tanana, Porcupine, Koyukuk, and Kuskokwim Rivers are the five longest rivers in Alaska, extending into the Yukon Territory. This water flows freely, almost entirely undammed. Salmon surge against current. Moose, bears, and wolves wander the banks. Birds swarm in spectacular density. Roads rarely cross. Many residents live a subsistence lifestyle. No permits are required to be here. These channels are a natural path through the last large wilderness in North America.
Paddling the Yukon and its Tributaries approaches journeys of this magnitude like a through-hiker on the Appalachian Trail, but with a canoe or kayak. Each river is described from beginning to end, detailing access points, resupply options, and navigation tips throughout the flow. There are 35 original maps. Although the approach assumes long voyages, information is supplied for a range of trip lengths. Anything from an afternoon to a weekend to a week to a two-month float is possible.
Pam Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Lowry, Christy
$12.95
An anxious voice accosts a young mother as she picks up the phone. An elementary school secretary notifies her that her daughter Pam may have been in a serious accident. But why this call when Pam, a middle schooler, rides a public, not a school bus, home? Yet because this secretary takes the time to phone her, this mother responds to her suggestion to immediately call 911.
Was the dispatcher awaiting her call?! His disconcertingly accurate questions, punctuated with progressively detailed and accurate information only she could know, lends credence to that impression. Initial relief that the victim, first described as someone far younger, dissipates before a parent's worst fear: has the unthinkable truly happened? To them?
In PAM, a family miracle unfolds, unveiling a God Who actively and directly redeems--even uses--their loss for good. In the process, healing and restoration powerfully emerge to transform hopeless grief into inspired conviction that there is--indeed--Life Beyond Death, Joy Beyond Grief.
Christy has her own website you may find interesting.

Pray for Justice Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Otte, Marc
$12.95
When a mutual friend and fellow church member is murdered during a prison break, two modern-day deputy U.S. Marshals, Skip Garret and Terry McGreggor, are spurred into a horse back chase after three ruthless outlaws through the rugged mountains of northwestern Montana. The manhunt pits them, not only against vicious killers and the remote Montana wilderness, but against hate, their own spirituality, and the hard decisions a lawman must make in the discharge of his duties. Without most of the conveniences of a present-day peace officer, the friends are content to rely on their trusty mountain horses and personal strengths. Not until the most famous of all Mormon gunfighters, Orrin Porter Rockwell, pays them a visit from across death's veil, do they come to realize the importance of relying on a power far greater than their own. Pray for Justice reads like your favorite western novel.
