USA Best Book Awards: In the Footsteps of Greatness is a Finalist
One of my personal favorites in the 3L Publishing catalog is In the Footsteps of Greatness , and it just placed as a Finalist in the USA Best Book Awards under narrative nonfiction (for more information, click here ). Author Josh Mathe's first effort is this articulate, thoughtful and dynamic book about his experience not hiking the John Muir Trail, but running the 212-mile trail in one week. What I really enjoyed about Josh's book is the spirit to persevere and accomplish his goal. Endurance athletes will appreciate his insight into "fast-packing" and general readers will enjoy how Josh willing and honestly talks about the experience, life and all the challenges that he takes on with enthusiasm. I highly recommend this book as a Christmas present, and you won't have to stay up all night on black "whatever" to get a copy. Buy it on Amazon in print or eBook ( click here ).
