Gary Miller shares more heralded articles that have appeared in newspapers and magazines throughout the nation in this fourth volume of Outdoor Truths. Each entry is brief and stands alone from the other articles. It is the perfect deer-stand or coffee table book that can be enjoyed at different times. While some people may think of these articles as devotionals for hunters and fishers, the author has never viewed them that way. The reason is because he’s never envisioned his audience as only faithful Christians but instead as people who may be unsure about Christianity or the church. The only thing he’s always been sure about his readers is that by and large, hunters and fishers are not atheists. They see the handiwork of someone bigger whenever they spend time in the woods or on the water. These articles will help you navigate what you already know. If you love the outdoors, aren’t sure about faith, but believe in God—or if you’re a dedicated Christian—then you’ll treasure these writings.

This collection of essays blends observations and experiences that have come over time from being in God's great outdoors. Each article speaks of hunting, fishing, and the outdoors while pointing readers to the one who is the creator and sustainer of the universe. (Social Issues)

If you're a Christian who enjoys a big fish story and has a passion for our Lord Jesus - this book is for you. The author of this book tells a number stories about his own outdoor experiences and reflects upon how God's Word relates to each story. There are 31 stories and devotions in all. Also included is a brief glossary defining basic theological jargon.

In the Black Hills Edition of Biblical Truth & Outdoor Lies, Pastor Josh Jones artfully draws the outdoor enthusiast into a deeper reflection upon the intersection of Christian faith and hunting and fishing. Pastor Jones' wonderfully narrated experiences provide a backdrop that hunters and anglers alike will appreciate. Rather than leave the reader with good stories (which they are), he uses these familiar outdoor experiences to transition into simple yet thoughtful truths gleaned from God's Word. Much too often we lose sight of God's love for us in Jesus and disconnect the things we love from the One who loves us. In a down to earth language all hunters and anglers will recognize and understand, Jones bridges the gap between time in the outdoors and time in God's Word. The outdoor enthusiast who works through these thoughtful devotions will see the world in a better way that increases both his thanks for the gift of God's love in Christ and the gifts found in God's creation.

2024 Nautilus Book Awards Silver Winner in "Religion / Spirituality of Western Thought" CategoryWinner of the Living Now Book Award, Church of the Wild reminds us that once upon a time, humans lived in an intimate relationship with nature. Whether disillusioned by the dominant church or unfulfilled by traditional expressions of faith, many of us long for a deeper spirituality. Victoria Loorz certainly did. Coping with an unraveling vocation, identity, and planet, Loorz turned to the wanderings of spiritual leaders and the sanctuary of the natural world, eventually cofounding the Wild Church Network and Seminary of the Wild. With an ecospiritual lens on biblical narratives and a fresh look at a community larger than our own species, Church of the Wild uncovers the wild roots of faith and helps us deepen our commitment to a suffering earth by falling in love with it--and calling it church. Through mystical encounters with wild deer, whispers from a scrubby oak tree, wordless conversation with a cougar, and more, Loorz helps us connect to a love that literally holds the world together--a love that calls us into communion with all creatures.
