Sky-Hitching to Heaven: Experiencing the Fun Side of God

Sky-Hitching to Heaven, Experiencing the Fun Side of God is an entertaining book that includes thirty amazing experiences in which God intervened in unexpected ways. Mary Gordon has lived a life filled with thrills. Whether “sky-hitching” across the country, whitewater canoeing, hiking, primitive camping, or cooking exotic multi-course meals, she sees God involved in the everyday and the extraordinary aspects of life. There’s even a chapter involving a shopping miracle.

In 1977 Mary sky-hitched from mid-Ohio to Spokane, Washington. During her flight adventures, God showed her how to proceed at each hop. Details of her return trip are included in the chapter entitled, "When It Doesn't Work." Other chapters include when God supernaturally revealed the missing digits of an ex-convict’s phone number. In another, Mary had to believe God’s revelation about how to handle an emergency in which her home was in danger of fire.

Mary L. Gordon repeatedly sees God’s humor in life, and she often reflects that humor in her writing. These stories are self-contained and provide short quick reads for anyone who needs a break or something pleasant to think about. They can also be used as a devotional.

As you accompany Mary on her adventures, you may see how God shows up in your own life with encouragement and joy.

Mary L. Gordon majored in mathematics at Purdue University and earned her B.S. and M.S. degrees. She taught math at Haille Sellassie I University in Alemaya, Ethiopia from 1968 to 1970 where she raised two lion cubs. She also taught at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia. Mary first confessed Jesus as Lord in 1975. Since that time she has often written insights as she discovered them. In the early days, her writing was mostly in letters to friends. In 2004 she discovered the art of journaling in her prayer time, and she has since found tremendous fulfillment in God's inspirations. She first became a published author in 2023 and has since devoted much of her time to writing.
