'He Burned His Boats': My 1985 Article that Appeared in 'Lighted Pathway' Magazine

This is an inspirational article I wrote over 30 years ago in the early days of my writing career. The article, “He Burned His Boats,” appeared in the October 1985 issue of Lighted Pathway, a Church of God youth publication. It is based on the story of Hernan Cortez (sometimes spelled Cortes), who reportedly burned his ships behind him in order to keep his men from turning back. -- Dr. Roscoe Barnes III
