Thirteen-year-old Will Evans couldn't skateboard just a few years ago. After giving it a try, he found that not only could he skateboard, he was actually pretty good at it. He joined a club at his church which gave him the chance to use his talents for God's glory. When the opportunity arose for him to perform a skateboarding show on a mission trip to an Indian reservation in Arizona, the Philadelphia teen jumped right in. During his plane ride, Will began envisioning a trip of skateboarding and leisure, while his doctor and nurse dad and mom volunteered at the reservation clinic. He was looking forward to the new experience and spending time meeting new people that God brought his way. As the plane landed, Will noticed an unusual mountain that stood alone in the vast flat plains. There was something mysterious and odd about that mountain. Little did he know, his skateboarding trip was about to turn into a valuable lesson on following Christ―a lesson he would never forget. During his first day at the reservation, Will meets twins Jake and Kate. When an archeological excavation reveals ancient human remains, they decide to investigate the clues from the past to try and understand the “gods” on the mountain. History becomes very real to them as they hear a tale in an old diary of a boy that dared to explore the mountain, but never returned. The friends determine to explore the mountain and find out the truth. Were the gods of the mountain real? And were the bones found by the archeologists the result of human sacrifices? The Sacred Mountain is a story about accepting new friends, using your talents, and seeking answers. The most important lessons however, is that there is only one God we should trust, and it is by His blood which we are saved.

These engaging stories are kept intentionally short so that they may be read in a few hours. Each book in this series examines a traditional family value in a fictional setting so that it is fun to read, instructive, and entertaining. Excerpt: The water was icy cold, and the road bed was a full two feet above the surface of the marsh. The stream must have been fed by glacial waters further up the mountain. The rock, while dry, did not mask the temperature of the water that ran beneath it. Yao admired the marsh grasses and the brilliant colors that they displayed, but quickly made his mind up to leave as his feet began to freeze on the icy surface of the stone roadway. He had just picked up his pack to move on when he was startled by the braying of a wild animal off the side of the trail. Yao walked cautiously forward, and when he had come around a bend in the trail, found a small goat trapped in a large thicket of thorny bushes. He could see the dry places that the buck had used to get at some of the sweet marsh grasses. He must have gotten tangled in the thorns before he could retreat back to the safety of the plateau. Yao carefully laid down his pack on the stone roadway, and made his way out to the frightened goat. As he got closer the goat began to panic and bray more loudly. He spoke gently to it as he got closer, and soon found himself face to face with the goat. Gently Yao began to stroke the goat along his spine, and once the buck had calmed down he began untangling the long pointy briers from its fur. It proved to be quite the task, as the mountain goat’s fur was thick and ready for the upcoming winter. Somehow he managed to untangle the thorns, and the goat was soon hopping from stone to dry patch, back up to the stone roadway. Yao began his own careful way back to the road. When he reached the roadway, he realized that the goat had not run off, but was waiting for him. At first he thought this rather pleasant, but once he had climbed up onto the road and picked up his pack his mind quickly changed. There on the path leading out of the bog sat a large mountain lion.

White's books were popular at a time when America was losing its vanishing wilderness. He was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature, yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. He also interviewed people who had been involved in the fur trade, the California gold rush and other pioneers which provided him with details that give his novels verisimilitude. He salted in humor and sympathy for colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear. White also illustrated some of his books with his own photographs, while some of his other books, were illustrated by artists, such as the American Western painter Fernand Lungren for "The Mountains" and "Camp and Trail". Theodore Roosevelt wrote that White was "the best man with both pistol and rifle who ever shot" at Roosevelt's rifle range at Sagamore Hill.
