That's a Keeper: Reflections on Life from a Bass Fisherman

H. Norman Wright. Bethany House Publishers, $15.99 (272pp) ISBN 978-0-7642-2550-5

In That's a Keeper!: Reflections on Life from a Bass Fisherman, H. Norman Wright provides pithy reflections on God, fishing and the spiritual life. The writing can be awkward at times and some of the messages hackneyed (you've got to be persistent; anger and fishing don't mix; older is better), but he also reels in some more valuable insights. Wright's meditation on the ""accomplishments"" of fishing, for example, serves as an important reminder in this fast-paced world that achievements aren't everything. Sometimes, he points out, wasting time is not a waste of time. (May)
