Torry Martin—a comedian, actor, and hippie—fled from California to the wilderness of Alaska, searching for answers to life''s big questions. He found what he was looking for...and a lot more! A moose got its head stuck in Torry''s window. A reindeer was trapped in his kitchen. A bear almost prevented him from reaching his airplane. He once woke up frozen to his cabin floor. Like the Israelites of old, Torry experienced plenty of miracles and mishaps in the wilderness. And like them, he came face-to-face with God and was changed forever. Each of these true stories of Torry''s hilarious blunders and misfortunes contains a nugget of truth, but one theme prevails: If God can reclaim and repurpose Torry Martin''s life, He can do the same for you and those you love.

"Based on the true story of Henry "Box" Brown''s amazing escape from slavery"--Cover.

Dallas Jenkins, director of The Resurrection of Gavin Stone and The Shepherd
