Wilderness Reflections: A Pursuit of God’s Lessons in the Field - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

God is the ultimate teacher, and if you choose to allow Him, he will touch your life in eternal ways while you sit shivering in a tree stand waiting for a deer that never shows. I have come to treasure these moments, and I have journeyed closer to God as a result of my time in the wilderness. Wilderness Reflections is a collection of short stories that grew out of a love for both the words of the Bible and adventures in the outdoors. Men’s souls seem to be in conflict between the demands of their everyday lives and their recreational pursuits. Sunday church time can seem to be more about duty than community, and the call of the wild can all too often reach into the pews and distract us from our heavenly goals—but the two need not be separated. This book is for those who can find evidence of God’s teaching not in the confines of a building but in the vastness of the wilderness. These stories ultimately reflect my personal journey from only having church on Sundays to having it when I venture afield any day of the week. I’ve heard other hunters refer to this as "the church of the woods." It is in this church that I find meaning and seek to clarify the muddle of everyday life. The results have, in part, been captured here, and while the lessons inside may ultimately be meaningful only to the author; the telling may benefit others as well.
