From Booklist:
Parkening isn't just the foremost American classical guitarist of his generation; he's a champion fly-fisher. He might have been a very versatile athlete if he hadn't quit sports at 11 for the guitar. Given his bent toward physical prowess, it isn't surprising that the best passages in his autobiography are about preparing to play, playing, and fishing. Driven by his lovingly disciplinarian father as well as love for the guitar, he became a professional soloist by his late teens. When his father comfortably retired at 47, Parkening decided to do the same at 30. Goal-driven to a fault, he succeeded. After a few years, however, he sold the dream ranch he'd bought, returned to Southern California, and resumed playing. Chastened by the emptiness of realizing his dream, he embraced Christianity with new understanding and purpose. He decided henceforth to play for God and share the gospel, and stories of how he has linked career and faith burgeon in the latter chapters of a book rewarding to music lovers, sport fishers, and believers alike.
