From Georgia to Maine, thousands of white paint blotches or “blazes” mark the Appalachian Trail to guide the hiker. Staying on the trail requires that you keep your eye on the blaze. God, who is also described as a blaze (Ex. 3:2, 21 and Acts 2), calls us to walk by faith and trust His direction when we experience tough terrain in life. Though we can seldom see beyond the next turn in the trail, we should take heart because God knows the way. He blazed the trail. But sometimes we need a mentor, someone who’s hiked before us, to help us stay on the path.
Terry Bowman completed the Appalachian Trail in September 2018, eighteen years after being introduced to backpacking. In Eye on the Blaze, Terry uses analogies and stories from the trail to reinforce biblical truth as it relates to our walk with God. He addresses tough issues faced by men such as:
-
- sexual purity
- marriage
- fatherhood
- financial debt
Eye on the Blaze provides both scriptural and practical advice for staying on the trail as Terry shares wisdom gleaned from other men, forty years of marriage, thirty-six years of parenting, and a fifty-two-year walk with God. Come be encouraged and challenged. Experience spiritual growth to help you traverse the trails of life.

The Carving Tree is a tale of love, courage, and God’s redemptive grace that reminds readers there is always hope.
Forty-six years ago Jake pledged his love to Sadie by carving their names into the Carving Tree. Newly retired, Sadie is eager to take on life’s adventures with Jake by her side. But when the symbol of their enduring love begins to wither and Jake is diagnosed with a heart condition, Sadie’s dreams are put on hold.
Bitter towards God, Sadie is determined to nurse Jake and their beloved Carving Tree back to health. Sadie’s luck takes a turn for the worse when Megan Thompson, an aspiring model, goes missing after leaving her young son in Sadie’s care.
Miles away, when what Megan thought was an audition for a modeling gig turns out to be a hoax, she finds herself a victim of a human-trafficking ring. Terrified, Megan knows only one thing is certain: she must escape and return to her son.
Both women’s courage and resilience are put to the test in Terry Bowman’s captivating novel, The Carving Tree.
