Books about Wickwire from Amazon.com

Adventurist Jim Wickwire, an eyewitness to glory and terror above 20,000 feet, has braved bitter cold, blinding storms, and avalanches to become what the Los Angeles Times calls "one of America's most extraordinary and accomplished high-altitude mountaineers." Although his incredible exploits have inspired a feature on 60 Minutes and a full-length film, he hasn't told his remarkable story in his own words -- until now.

Among the world's most fearless climbers, Jim Wickwire has traveled the globe in search of fresh challenges. He was one of the first two Americans to reach the summit of K2, the world's second highest peak, the toughest and most dangerous to climb. But with the triumphs came tragedies that haunt him still. During several difficult climbs, he was forced to look on helplessly as four of his climbing companions lost their lives. A successful Seattle attorney, Wickwire climbed his first mountain in 1960. Deeply compelled by the thrill of risk, he pushed himself to the limits of physical and mental endurance for thirty-five years, before facing a turning point that threatened his faith in himself and his hope in the future. How he reassessed his priorities and rededicated his life -- to his family and his community -- completes a unique and moving portrait of one man's courage and commitment. Addicted To Danger is a tale of adventure in its truest sense..

There are many general books on the topic of friendship, but not many of them contain clear biblical teaching or understand the crucial role that friends play in believers' spiritual lives. Because many Christians lack an adequate understanding of the huge potential for good and blessing that friends bring us, they often participate instead in ungodly friendships, dating relationships, and other unhealthy unions that hurt or even undermine their faith. In Friendships, pastor Jeff Wickwire offers readers an in-depth look at what God has to say about friendship, showing them how to cultivate healthy relationships that bless them and honor God too. Men and women, young and old alike, will cherish this book's message of enriching relationships in a culture of isolation and compromise..

There is a reason that the approaching horizon along life's journey looms large, explains author Jeff Wickwire in this probing and encouraging wake-up call. Yet the human tendency is to view life through the rearview mirror-a tendency encouraged by a nostalgia-obsessed culture. This mulling over the past--a wrong job choice, a lost chance at love, a hundred missed opportunities--can be paralyzing. Wickwire helps readers let go of skeletons that have kept them in bondage to events that are dead and gone. His scriptural, common-sense approach shows that the best days are ahead for those who learn to keep God's promises in clear view..
