On the Kansas plains, a young evangelist and a drifting cowboy help each other find God's love.
Young inexperienced Mercy Randolph suddenly finds herself alone and penniless in a small Kansas town in the 1890s. As she tries to preach to the uninterested townspeople, her spiritual foundations are tested by a most unusual cardplaying cowboy with an even more unusual name—Jerimiah Eagleflight.
Challenged by their dialogue, Mercy must explore deep within herself to discover her true convictions, while Jerimiah deals with questions of belief he has never considered. Meanwhile, a vengeful troublemaker bent on murder threatens whatever happiness Mercy and Eagleflight hope to find.
A new edition of this compelling tale of the Canadian West in the late 19th century—best-selling author Ralph Connor’s classic Sky Pilot edited by Michael Phillips.
Thomas Skyler, young, green, every inch a tenderfoot—sent on his first assignment as a pioneer preacher to the rugged foothill region of Swan Creek. But the rough-and-tumble, hard-drinking cowboys aren’t so sure they like the idea of a preacher in their midst.
Meet Bronco Bill, Hi Kendal, the Duke, the Old Timer, and of course Gwen, and discover why the impact of "the Sky Pilot" was far different than any would have expected.
