River Runs Through Me

River Runs Through Me is more than fishing experiences. It offers the realities Mark faced in walking the human landscape.Yes, there are fishing moments, when a tree stump and not a fish was hooked, when the leader pinged and the fish flipped its middle fin before swimming away, when he lost the net into Tillamook Bay…In his journey, metaphorically, Mark describes the full reality of a rose-the beautiful flower, the stem and the thorns. Life cannot be one without the others.In it all, as child, as pitcher of a wicked curve, as university and seminary student, as husband, as father, as minister in local church and judicatory for a denomination, as novelist, Mark shares how life at times reaches up to touch bottom and when life is standing on top of a mountain, personal Rocky Mountain highs.Hopefully his journey, the ups and downs all together, will benefit, so your own steps can dance and not drag.
