As we travel through the fictional world of Blue Bear and the adorable bear population, we might reminisce of our own journey through life, remember feeling the many splendors of love, the learning from challenges and mistakes, the healing from pain, the God-given strength to face loss and sorrow, the forgetting and forgiving of those who deeply hurt us. Or Blue Bear might even lead us to decide to modify the map for the rest of our journey. The miracle of life, treasured from the moment we receive our souls, breathe our first breath, cry at being welcomed to the world with a cruel spank, until the time when our search to discover and learn ends, the same way we chose to live. As puppies and kittens and cubs do, we see the miracle of life in the animal world as in our world, when it emerges out of a womb, crawls, takes baby steps, swinging from side to side, giggling at the first run without a fall, to then become a unique member of mankind or of the animal kingdom. And although we would have hurt if we fell, it didnaEUR(tm)t stop us from trying to stand up and walk again, realizing that falls and errors are learning moments. What happens in Blue BearaEUR(tm)s world let us see that we have a tomorrow to live for if we accept that we are exactly in the path we chose to travel, accompanied or alone, that we are never lonely if we believe the words of the One who promised to never leave us or forsake us, to be with us to the end of time. Blue Bear believes it; its author believes it. Welcome to Honey Sweet City, bear population of six hundred.

Many biographies have been written about the larger-than-life college football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant as well as an autobiography containing the coaches own memories. Other works have focused on an aspect of Bryant's career, his coaching methods, or his philosophy. The Bear: The Legendary Life of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant stands alone among them all. Based on a screenplay by the late sportswriter and columnist Al Browning, it showcases many of the most memorable moments of Bryant's life—many of them told by the coach himself—as stories filled with the immediacy and drama that go with a good story told well. The relationship Bryant and Browning shared went beyond that of coach and journalist. They were close friends, giving Browning a unique view of the man that few people had ever seen, especially in Bryant's final years before his retirement and death a short while later. Some of the stories in this book have been heard before, but without the rich background and detail conveyed here. As such, the book validates many of them while clarifying others and occasionally correcting some inaccuracies. "I just have a taken for finding the heart of a football team," Bryant once explained, and it was certainly true. It is equally true that All Browning found the heart of Bryant, and The Bear: The Legendary Life of Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant has captured the essence of the man from Fordyce, Arkansas, for whom winning was no just the most important thing. It was the only thing.

I met Darrell Farmen in 1975, when he was serving on the Board of Game. Over the next few years, Darrell shared remarkable stories about Alaska's hunting past. I have since hunted Kodiak several times, stayed in the cabins at Karluk Lake and read all the names on the cabin walls from successful hunters guided by this extraordinary outdoorsman. Perhaps, one day you will be inspired to do the same. I am extremely thankful that Darrell has written about his Kodiak adventures. In these pages, Darrell takes you hunting with him, and makes sure you learn something along the way. In addition to the hunting stories, he delineates with great humility many of the trials and tribulations he and others faced. You will understand the harsh Kodiak climate that Darrell and his clients endured and the skills they required to withstand these hardships. If you have hunted bears on Kodiak Island or even dreamt about hunting there, this book is a must-read. Ted Spraker
