Floundering in her second career, the one she’s always wanted, forty-eight year old Cheryl Suchors resolves that, despite a fear of heights, her mid-life success depends on hiking the highest of the grueling White Mountains in New Hampshire. All forty-eight of them. She endures injuries, novice mistakes, and the heartbreaking loss of a best friend. When breast cancer threatens her own life, she seeks solace and recovery in the wild. Her quest takes ten years. Regardless of the need since childhood to feel successful and in control, climbing teaches her mastery isn’t enough and control is often an illusion. Connecting with friends and with nature, Suchors redefines success: she discovers a source of spiritual nourishment, spaces powerful enough to absorb her grief, and joy in the persistence of love and beauty. 48 Peaks inspires us to believe that, no matter what obstacles we face, we too can attain our summits.

Christians navigate a journey filled with ups and downs. Sometimes you feel like you are at a low point and have no idea how you'll ever get out of the pit you're in. Other times we feel like we are on a high and hope it'll never end. Neither season lasts forever because God doesn't work that way. He's designed our lives to follow a rhythm. The lows (valleys) teach us many valuable lessons but most importantly they make us better and give us an appreciation for the great times. The highs (peaks) may not last forever but often prepare us for the lows. It all works together. This book isn't a "how to" book. The goal is to share stories, after all, stories are what connect us all. My hope is that as you read this you can connect and maybe even find just a little hope. Hope that you can change and end up in a better place than you are headed now. Hope that your children won't end up dead or in jail. Hope that you can have a family. Life would be terrible with no hope and it's mine, that this book helps you find yours.

Artfully blending Scott Bischke and his wife Katie Gibson's agonizing struggle against Kate's advanced, recurrent, "terminal" cancer, this is the story of their three month, 800+ mile hike along the Continental Divide Trail across Montana. Numerous themes and parallels weave through the book: several encounters with grizzly bears, for example, provide an avenue for metaphorical comparisons between the fear of grizzlies and the fear of cancer. Similarly, Kate's ability to persevere through the toils of a long-distance hike provides a constant parallel to her ability to persevere against cancer. Other themes include the importance of a dogged spirit in battling cancer and the importance of wild country in revitalizing the soul.

" An adventurous series of hikes in the mountains and canyons of the Southwest United States... An encounter with a mysterious stranger who makes an intriguing proposition ... An exploration into the powerful Christian themes of love, grace, and forgiveness ... A new formula for dealing with obstacles that life puts in our way ... Glimpses of heaven we can identify with ... Altogether, an uplifting reminder of that key Christian attitude --hope --with practical encouragement for tough economic times ... Packed with wisdom and spiced with intrigue, this book views all these aspects through the wide-open eyes of children and the experienced eyes of a scientist. It is an enchanting story that rocks along from one hiking episode to the next, all on the edge of God's interaction with humankind. The mystery is engaging, and the emotions are stirring enough to bring a tear to the eye. "The book Hiking Toward Heaven is full of life experiences I can relate to. Ian lets us know there are angels leading us all through our lives. I did not want to put the book down, and I wanted more." -- Dewey Flock, Home Improvement Contractor, Houston, Texas "Amidst the joys and diffi culties of each exciting hike, the Christian message comes through loud and clear. I have never seen anything quite like it, and as you describe the fl ora, the geology, and the food of various places, it has the ring of truth." --Julian Pfi tzner, High school teacher and administrator (retired), Adelaide, Australia. "The book takes the reader on a fascinating jaunt of geographical discovery, and sparkles with the quoted jewels of wise men. The wonderful surprises that are portrayed when life gets tough give me renewed hope." --Bob Moulton, Melrose, Australia "Ian has combined his passion for hiking in the Southwest USAwith his immense love of God in a tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The people who share the trails experience God's message of love, grace, and hope which culminates in the challenge Seeing is believing, but you will also learn that believing is seeing." -- Ginny Itz, Director of Singles at Chapelwood United Methodist Church, Houston, Texas "I plan to integrate this book into our curriculum for youth in detention. I strongly believe these at-risk youth will receive and welcome this novel presentation of Biblical truths." --I Don Compton, Founder/Director Shalom Ministries, Santa Fe, New Mexico "

2020 Banff Mountain Book Competition Finalist in Adventure Travel In Journeys North, legendary trail angel, thru hiker, and former PCTA board member Barney Scout Mann spins a compelling tale of six hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2007 as they walk from Mexico to Canada. This ensemble story unfolds as these half-dozen hikers--including Barney and his wife, Sandy--trod north, slowly forming relationships and revealing their deepest secrets and aspirations. They face a once-in-a-generation drought and early severe winter storms that test their will in this bare-knuckled adventure. In fact, only a third of all the hikers who set out on the trail that year would finish. As the group approaches Canada, a storm rages. How will these very different hikers, ranging in age, gender, and background, respond to the hardship and suffering ahead of them? Can they all make the final 60-mile push through freezing temperatures, sleet, and snow, or will some reach their breaking point? Journeys North is a story of grit, compassion, and the relationships people forge when they strive toward a common goal.

At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild, Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his readers, though, to do the final sort of which is which."--Amazon.
