Week #6—Operation Overpass
A Michigan winter. A childhood “covert operation.” And a lesson that took years to understand. Sometimes the smallest words carry the greatest power—just as Proverbs 15:1 reminds us.
Gritty wilderness stories that capture reluctant readers. Reflective devotions and comprehensive leader's guides built to facilitate real discussions. Choose your entry point below:
Discover the novels, follow the story, and explore personal application guides.
Access study booklets, youth group discussion materials, and local licensing rules.
"Gritty, real-world survival built for reluctant readers—fast-paced adventure that hooks teen boys and men, grounded in a faith that fights."
We believe group resources should serve the study, not limit it. When you purchase our study booklets, we grant your local troop, class, or church group an unlimited duplication license for that specific material.
Gritty action, natural outdoor environments, and deep human struggles engage teen boys and readers who generally struggle to finish novels. This sets the background for discussions on real values.
Every booklet companion provides direct, chapter-aligned biblical reflections and facilitator questions designed to bridge raw adventure with deep personal faith.
Trapped by an abusive stepfather, 16-year-old Logan runs headlong into the unforgiving Canadian wilderness, escaping down the treacherous Batchawana River. Supported by a mysterious voice he calls "Good Ole Joe," Logan's desperate fight for basic survival transforms into a gripping, real-world battle for his soul.
Five years later, Logan is no longer running—he is the Ghost Walker. When a brutal human trafficking network captures the woman he loves, Logan must deploy his deep woods tracking experience alongside his battle-tested spiritual focus to hunt down a calculated adversary operating in the dark.
Framed for a high-profile homicide and isolated in a high-security lockup, Logan finds his world shattered. Confronted with absolute spiritual trial, he must risk everything on a high-stakes escape to protect the innocent. It serves as the ultimate test of unending, stubborn grace.

Today I want to share a lesson of God’s love through a childhood story about consequences
A muddy softball field. A bad idea. And a lesson that stuck harder than the mud.
