September 14, 2009 Learning along the trail of life - A review of "Hiking Boots and Gospel Truths"
By Bryan Osborn, Guest ContributorShare:  
September 14, 2009 —  Anyone who has ever climbed a towering peak, gazed over the valley below or appreciated the beauty of a sunset will want to read Mark D. Harrison's book entitled "Hiking Boots and Gospel Truths," a book that shows youth and leaders that there is more to be learned in the outdoors than just survival.
Although he currently lives in American Fork, Utah, Harrison grew up in the Pacific Northwest and was a member of the Spokane East Stake for almost two years and the North Stake for nearly two decades as part of the River Ridge Ward. While in Spokane, Mark owned and operated a music store called Squires Music.
As far as his outdoor callings, Mark was originally asked to help lead the Young Men's group in his ward in climbing Mt. Rainier. Not too much after that experience, he was called to serve as Scout Master for the ward, where he strived to provide an outdoor experience for the boys on a monthly basis for about six years.
Several years later, while talking with a group of people at a wedding reception, they discussed how people don't realize what a resource the wilderness can be in building testimonies.
