Richard R. Blake wrote this in his review of my book "Forging Ahead For God." It is used by permission.

"Darda Burkhart has captured the dedication and devotion of the call of God on the life of her father, Percy Wills in "Forging Ahead," a biographical sketch of the life and ministry of an amazing pioneer missionary to the peoples of the Pacific Northwest...

"Forging Ahead" is a testimony of a man walking by faith and seeing God provide through miracle after miracle through his sixty years of pioneering in missionary work. Percy's ministry included reaching into logging and mining camps, door to door visitation in the remotest areas of the Canadian Pacific Northwest...

"Darda Burkhart brings to the printed page the message and life of Percy Wills, his upbeat attitude, his good humor and infectious love. "Foring Ahead for God" is a book for church and school libraries. It should be put in the hands of every prospective missionary candidate, and be required reading for those serving on missions committees regardless of church denomination.

"An extraordinary life, a worth tribute, with an incredible challenge."
