The Mackenzie Mountain Man Richard L Wilks

A constant ode and praise to God, Mackenzie Mountain Man by Richard L. Wilks is a powerful tribute that celebrates the spiritual side of man and the tender moments spent in service to the Lord. His mission is clear and with the heart of a pastor and an adventurous soul, an author explores the wilds of the Northwest Territories in Canada and learns more than he bargains for as he spreads the good word. Bringing just enough provisions for a four-and-a-half month stay, the man sets out for the Mackenzie Mountains on a voyage to hunt, fish, write and survive. He will learn to trap field mice, battle an angry otter, learn the difference between a black bear and a grizzly, and make a few unforgettable friends. His adventures will bring him closer to himself and closer to God as he inadvertently becomes a missionary of sorts to a number of locals and fellow travelers. Inspired and compelling, this debut marks an intriguing and vastly rich voice to contemporary Christian literature.
