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!"

    Jerry J.

  • (Hard Left) "A moving story for teenagers and adults alike. Even though my teenage years are long behind me, I really enjoyed this book. I became quite involved with the characters, who each rang true to me, and I found the book hard to put down."
