In the heart of the wilderness, Howard Stewart didn't expect to find himself fighting for his life or his purpose.

A close encounter with a charging bear becomes more than a moment of terror...it becomes a mirror. A reminder that survival isn't just about escaping danger, it's about learning who you are when everything is at stake.

Through brutal weather, construction setbacks, and the quiet weight of doubt, Howard discovers something deeper in the wild:

Courage, connection, and the faith that carries a person forward when the world pushes back.

Bear Connection is a gripping memoir of resilience, friendship, and the life-changing truths found where fear and purpose collide.
