Life on the Narrow Path

Diagnosed with degenerative arthritis at thirty-seven, Clark Burbidge took up mountain biking and discovered that the lessons of the trail—focusing ahead, riding with a guide, building momentum, respecting your limits—mirror the principles of spiritual growth. Framed around his hundreds of rides on the Mueller Park Trail in Bountiful, Utah, each chapter pairs a vivid biking anecdote with scriptural insight on faith, repentance, endurance, and Christ's Atonement. A warm, accessible devotional guide for anyone seeking joy and perspective along life's narrow path.

• A fresh, guy-friendly devotional: gospel principles taught through the sweat and scars of mountain biking
• Written by a lifelong athlete who turned a discouraging arthritis diagnosis into a spiritual adventure
• Every chapter pairs a real trail wipeout or blizzard with a Bible-grounded life lesson
• Perfect Father's Day or mission-homecoming gift for the active, outdoorsy man

“The first true principle of mountain biking is not to dwell on the obstacles. If you become focused on something on the trail—whether moving or stationary, loose or fixed—most likely your front tire will be drawn directly into it. This means you hit what you stare at.”

Perfect for an active outdoorsy Latter-day Saint or broadly Christian adult who enjoys nature-based analogies and wants encouragement to persevere spiritually through life's trials.
