Tracking Virtue, Conquering Vice: Hunting for God

Father Joe Classen provides understanding and sincere advice for anyone wanting to remove the obstacles from living a holy life, a life with Christ.
You will enjoy reading about the hunting stories even if you are not a hunter. I found the spiritual guidance to be very helpful and practical most especially in today's political and economic climate.

I believe hunters and fishermen/women of all faiths would enjoy this book. As a woman who hunts and fishes, I was riveted by the vivid storytelling. As an evangelical Christian, I really enjoyed how right-on and straightforward this book is about faith. Only problem was, I wanted to get out there, not just sit home and read about it!
