The Hunter S Devotional

Join God in the Great Outdoors The Hunter's Devotional by Steve Chapman invites hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to experience God in the adventure of hunting and beauty of nature. Filled with personal stories from Chapman's years of hunting and fishing, each devotion begins with a verse of Scripture followed by insights, anecdotes, and a short prayer. With wit and wisdom, Steve shares faith lessons learned through the many illustrations God's creation has provided. The perfect companion on hunting and fishing trips, this little companion will add a meaningful depth of spirituality to your journey.

Hunters and fishermen are familiar with the "moment of truth"--that adrenaline-surging, heart-pounding instant when success and failure hang in the balance. In that moment they know if they will experience the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. The 90 devotions in In Pursuit are written specifically for this outdoorsman. Each devotion expertly weaves scriptural truth into true hunting and fishing stories that capture the thrill of the great outdoors and work on the hearts of men who are zealous in their drive to get out on the lake or up in the deer blind. These reflections on the active life help prepare men for success and significance both spiritually and in their sport. It is the perfect gift for the outdoorsman. Foreword by Steve Chapman.

If life has ever made you feel like the prey instead of the hunter, maybe it's time to change your position. Maybe God keeps trying to set his crosshairs on you, but like the wary old buck, you keep avoiding Him and hiding. It's time to plan the best strategy of all, quietly resting In God's Crosshairs.

Deer Hunter's Devotional steps out into new territory for author Sean Jeffries. While his two previous works explored the world of hunting and fishing from a secular perspective, in this newest volume he combines his love of the outdoors with his Christianity. Exploring topics such as scouting for deer during the preseason, choosing your hunting equipment, and the excitement of opening day, each chapter in the book ties these lessons in with carefully selected scripture chosen to highlight the subject at hand. The author is not afraid to delve deep into the importance of sound doctrine, and each day's reading will leave you with wisdom to apply to your own Christian walk. The first book in the "Hunting for the Heart of God" series, Deer Hunter's Devotional is a timely piece of literature for today's sportsman. Containing over forty entries designed to challenge the reader and provoke him to deep thought about hunting and his own Christianity, the book kicks off the author's new series with a bang and sets the tone for the works that will follow in its trail. This is definitely not your mama's devotional!

This book demonstrates the importance of the study of fetishes and fetishism in the study of popular culture. Some of the essays cover rather "conventional" manifestations in the world today; others demonstrate the fetishistic qualities of some unusual items. But all illustrate without any doubt that, like the icon, the ritual, and many other items in society, fetishes, fetishism and fetishists must be studied and understood before we can begin to understand the complexity of present-day society.

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 a in better way that increases both his thanks for the gift of God's love in Christ and the gifts found in God's creation.

Hunter S. Thompson, “smart hillbilly,” boy of the South, born and bred in Louisville, Kentucky, son of an insurance salesman and a stay-at-home mom, public school-educated, jailed at seventeen on a bogus petty robbery charge, member of the U.S. Air Force (Airmen Second Class), copy boy for Time, writer for The National Observer, et cetera. From the outset he was the Wild Man of American journalism with a journalistic appetite that touched on subjects that drove his sense of justice and intrigue, from biker gangs and 1960s counterculture to presidential campaigns and psychedelic drugs. He lived larger than life and pulled it up around him in a mad effort to make it as electric, anger-ridden, and drug-fueled as possible. Now Juan Thompson tells the story of his father and of their getting to know each other during their forty-one fraught years together. He writes of the many dark times, of how far they ricocheted away from each other, and of how they found their way back before it was too late. He writes of growing up in an old farmhouse in a narrow mountain valley outside of Aspen—Woody Creek, Colorado, a ranching community with Hereford cattle and clover fields . . . of the presence of guns in the house, the boxes of ammo on the kitchen shelves behind the glass doors of the country cabinets, where others might have placed china and knickknacks . . . of climbing on the back of Hunter’s Bultaco Matador trail motorcycle as a young boy, and father and son roaring up the dirt road, trailing a cloud of dust . . . of being taken to bars in town as a small boy, Hunter holding court while Juan crawled around under the bar stools, picking up change and taking his found loot to Carl’s Pharmacy to buy Archie comic books . . . of going with his parents as a baby to a Ken Kesey/Hells Angels party with dozens of people wandering around the forest in various stages of undress, stoned on pot, tripping on LSD . . . He writes of his growing fear of his father; of the arguments between his parents reaching frightening levels; and of his finally fighting back, trying to protect his mother as the state troopers are called in to separate father and son. And of the inevitable—of mother and son driving west in their Datsun to make a new home, a new life, away from Hunter; of Juan’s first taste of what “normal” could feel like . . . We see Juan going to Concord Academy, a stranger in a strange land, coming from a school that was a log cabin in the middle of hay fields, Juan without manners or socialization . . . going on to college at Tufts; spending a crucial week with his father; Hunter asking for Juan’s opinion of his writing; and he writes of their dirt biking on a hilltop overlooking Woody Creek Valley, acting as if all the horrible things that had happened between them had never taken place, and of being there, together, side by side . . . And finally, movingly, he writes of their long, slow pull toward reconciliation . . . of Juan’s marriage and the birth of his own son; of watching Hunter love his grandson and Juan’s coming to understand how Hunter loved him; of Hunter’s growing illness, and Juan’s becoming both son and father to his father . . .
