I was on my way to the other side of the world to be a bush pilot in Southeast Asia. I didn't know that in the next 17 years... -- I'd crash in airplanes three times -- five of my fellow pilots would crash and die -- we'd go through a record-breaking earthquake -- we'd go through two civil wars -- my 10-year-old son would fall out of a Jeep and fracture his skull -- two of my colleagues would be killed in a hail of arrows -- I'd take my wife home in a wheelchair -- I'd discover a WW2 plane wreck with 29 skeletons, and be the first one to investigate it on a mountain side at 14,000 feetI also didn't know that in those 17 years... -- I would solve the mystery of what happened to a Royal Australian Air Force cargo plane, that would bring closure to many next-of-kin -- I'd evacuate 36 people from a war zone in one flight in a 12-passenger airplane -- God would open a slit a in the clouds 50 miles long so I could escape from a hopeless weather trap -- I'd escape many close calls that were scarier than crashing -- I'd overcome an inferiority complex from a negative childhood and learn to be leader -- I'd see a dozen independent mission agencies unite as one to get a major job done -- I'd pick up a rebel leader and take him to surrender to the military, thus bringing peace to a large district -- I'd meet the finest, but hidden, servants in the history of the church -- a major campaign in the age-long war between good and evil would be won -- I would be part of larger team that would evangelize Papua, Indonesia. That's why I wrote this memoir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Reeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8694698145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798694698146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Jerry Reeder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127131697407,"sku":"9798694698146","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8396588-7078-4df5-b1dc-6a01625107ea.jpg?v=1687451997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friend-of-the-wind-jerry-reeder-9798694698146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
