Following Jesus and Fishing Along the Way Jerry Blount

Following Jesus and Fishing Along the Way, is a collection of forty plus stories and lessons learned from a lifetime spent exploring and enjoying the great outdoors. Written by Jerry Blount, a long time outdoorsman who developed a love for the outdoors at a very early age. Jerry's adventures began in the hills of southern Indiana in the 1950's. It was a time when hunting and fishing were just a part of life, and life itself was simple. From the hills of southern Indiana, Jerry migrated north eventually ending up in the vast forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. For nearly forty years Jerry and his wife Linda have resided on a small spring fed lake smack-dab in the middle of the Hiawatha National Forest twenty miles from the closest small town. Here they raised their children and enjoyed living in some of God's finest handiwork in His creation of the forests, swamps, lakes, streams, waterfalls, and rock formations of the U. P. Not only did they enjoy fishing, but also snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, camping, boating on the great lakes, sightseeing, and just exploring God's magnificent creation. When you spend as much time as Jerry has in God's great outdoors, you will naturally have many adventures. Some are humorous, some may be dangerous, but all of them leave their own story and lesson in life. A sample of the stories included are: Terror in the Night * Never Pick a Skunk Up by the Tail * Treed by a Bear * Suicide Cave * The Shrinking Catfish * One Mad Water Moccasin * Bear Attac
