About this title

Synopsis

Thoreau said, 'The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.' Bert Botta felt the pain of his own quiet desperation after three divorces, the gradual erosion of his 26-year flying career, and the discovery of something that overshadowed his love of aviation. He now helps men discover the source of their own quiet desperation and transform that to master their dormant genius. His autobiography, Fast Lane to Faith, follows Botta's spiritual journey from the hot rods of his youth on the streets of San Francisco, through his exploits and adventures during the best years of commercial aviation the world has ever known, to the Indian Himalayas and the jungles of the Philippines and beyond. Botta's journey brought him face to face with lessons that every man needs to know: how to know God, how to love women - and be loved by them - and how to truly know when you've achieved success.

Review

Fast Lane to Faith is an inspiring memoir. Bert has the unique ability to insert lively candor and humanity as he tells his story. Many Christian testimonies by men side-step the sensitivities that we all feel but culture presses us to deny. Among the strongest parts of Bert's inspiring journey of faith are honesty and sincerity. --Steve Watkins, Chaplain and former Navy SEAL, author of Meeting God Behind Enemy Lines, instructor at Northern Kentucky University, and PhD candidate at the University of Louisville

Store Description

I started selling books online around 1997-8, first on Bibliofind and then on Amazon. In my youth, I worked for a college textbook store and later at a university library. So I'm no stranger to scholarly books. Although semi-retired now, I still collect books and currently list for sale items no longer wanted in my personal library. Thus I do not have a large inventory as I am working from home. Still, I have an eclectic collection as befits a former librarian. My stock includes textbooks and scholarly books, with an emphasis on history, philosophy, and religion. My approval rating when I was with Amazon was 99% (2 were neutral). I'll try to accommodate any reasonable request.
