(Pilgrim Stories of Dust and Grace)

Fort Mistake is a remarkable true story of prayer-walking, divine appointments, and the quiet ways God guides those who are willing to follow one step at a time.

What began as a schoolboy’s dream to climb a mysterious unfinished fort in the mountains became, fifty-two years later, a life-changing revelation: freedom is not found at the summit of our mistakes—but at the foot of the cross. Through prayer-walks across South Africa, the Karoo, the Free State, the Drakensberg, inner-city Johannesburg, remote farm roads, and even distant shores, this deeply reflective memoir traces the surprising places where God speaks.

Each chapter blends story, Scripture, prayer, and reflection, inviting readers to discover how God still speaks through landscapes, memories, encounters, and even forgotten dreams waiting decades to awaken. At its heart, Fort Mistake carries a simple and liberating message:

You do not need to climb back to the monuments of your past. You only need to bring them to the cross. Step by step. Footprint by footprint. God is already walking ahead of you.
