WHAT READERS SAY

  • (Lumberjack Jesus) "In a world of false pretense and presumptive personalities, Bruce Kirkpatrick's writing refreshes a soul through his honesty, humility and humor. An authentic, mesmerizing story of an honest man's journey."

    Doug Tegner, Pastor At Large, Redwood Chapel Community Church

  • (Hard Left) "The book was delightful, engaging, and fun to read -- start to finish! I always looked forward to getting back to it for what was to come. Looking for a sequel…a Disney movie for the entire family would be a natural!"
