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.
This is an immensely practical book about successfully coping with your busy schedule… and then moving beyond coping to successful goal reaching!

A new edition of early 20th century best-selling author Harold Bell Wright’s The Calling of Dan Matthews edited by Michael Phillips.
A new and rather naïve pastor, Dan Matthews accepts his church call with great anticipation. But he quickly runs into deeply rooted problems: judgements, party spirit, church politics, and hidden agendas. Some problems come from well-intentioned people who don’t know better; others stem from selfishness and evil motives. In both situations, as Dan obeys the life and teachings of Jesus, the consequences are severe.
Dan Matthews believed he had a calling from God. Faced with the loathsome hypocrisy in his church, what will become of him and those he befriends?
