Two men, both followers of Jesus Christ, met in an unlikely way in the fall of 2002. Even though their time spent together in that specific workplace environment was brief, God planted a special seed in each of their hearts. While the Lord's leading then had them almost 3,000 miles apart for almost 2 years, they collaborated over the internet to write this book and initially made it available in its entirety on the Glory Stealer website. A book that has been written on their hearts as they have lived most of their lives as glory hounds. They have decided to document many of these thoughts, hurts, and painful lessons in a book that by His grace will bring Him the glory only He deserves, and will minister to other glory stealers all over the world.

Enjoy this adventure into the wilds of Alaska as the author takes you from the temperate rainforests of Southeastern Alaska to the frozen tundra of the North Slope; from the Aleutian Chain (the home of the Deadliest Catch") to the pristine mountains and crystal clear streams of the Kenai Peninsula and from the relative bustle of Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, to the peaceful Matanuska Valley. Travel with me now and allow your dream to come alive.
