Majestic and Wild: True Stories of Faith and Adventure in the Great Outdoors by Murray Pura
The beauty of these wild places are described in such a way that I can picture them in my mind. Not sure I would want to stand nose-to-nose with a bear, but would love to see this wild and wonderful place. Not only does he share the adventures he, his family and dogs live everyday, but lessons in listening to God and His plans for our lives.
The lessons he has gleaned through his encounters are gently shared, reminding us that God does have a plan and purpose for each of us, we just need to listen and heed His voice and how our relationship with God impacts those around us. I highly recommend this book. Jan 06, John rated it liked it.

Sometimes the theology was a little fluffy, and the proof texts at the beginning of each chapter were often ridiculous i. Unfortunately the Gospel was rarely to be seen.
