Walking the Straight and Narrow: Lessons in Faith from the High Wire
Discovery Channel said about the author: "In the rarified world of aerialists, Tino Wallenda is royalty." With the eighth generation of the Wallendas now in the act and hundreds of years of spectacular circus tradition to uphold, the family has secured not only a place in history, but also a place in the Guinness Book of World Records with an Eight-Person Pyramid on the high wire, and a 2004 win at the prestigious Circus Festival at Monte Carlo.
Tino Wallenda has "walked over dens of lions and tigers, between buildings, across rivers, and over a pool that contained more than 50 'man-eating' sharks." With all the fame and acclaim, however, he is best known for his simple, yet powerful, message of fearless faith breathtakingly delivered from the high wire."

Excellent Book!

This book was written from the heart and is a very honest, forthright account of the Wallenda family spanning several generations. There are lots of photos included and the book has all the little details you'll want to know about all of the Wallendas. I saw the Wallendas for the first time in St. Louis in June 2008 and was captivated at not only their performance, but how close they all are to each other. Yes, they are very talented, but they credit God with giving them their gifts and with keeping them safe during their performances. They are very down to earth, standing outside the tents greeting patrons after each performance. Tino was even so gracious as to sign a copy of the book for me after one of the performances! This book would be a perfect gift for someone who loves the Wallendas or who enjoys biographies. I highly recommend it!
