5.0 out of 5 stars HOOKED ON HOOKED FOR LIFE, January 19, 2000

By	Randy Killen (Lexington, South Carolina) - See all my reviews

I was surprised when I started reading this book that is was not only a book of fishing but a book of faith. The correlations Jimmy made between fishing and the Christion faith were inspiring. This would be a great book for a men's bible study or someone you were trying to reach out to. I really enjoyed this book and I hope the fishing tips work also as the tournaments are begining.

Jimmy Houston gives excellent tips on how to fish, and also mixes christianity in very well. He compares the different parts of fishing to different parts of the christian life. I totally recommend the book.

This was purchased as a gift of remembrance for the church library. What a great way to acknowledge a fisherman/sportsman and his Christianity at the same time. With a raised (?) picture on the front it is also tactical. An outstanding sportsman/author/Christian, Houston appeals to anyone hooked on the great outdoors. Fishing guides with Christian humor. Well pleased...
