Steve Chapman, author, A Look at Life From a Deer Stand
Gods creation immerses us in both heart-stopping beauty and adrenalin-producing danger. Many people go to the wilderness with a camera for solace and comfort. Murray Pura goes with two dogs and a rifle, quite aware of the risk and unpredictability of the wild. This devotional excursion through what God has wrought is rooted in Scripture and amplified in prayer.
Eugene H. Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College
Pastor Pura loves the great outdoors and writes about his often breathtaking experiences of it with intimacy, immediacy, and a kind of quivering vividness that makes his book un-put-downable. His reminiscences wonderfully light up realities of life through, in, with, and under Jesus Christ our Lord.
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College
Murray Pura invites you to join him in rugged and wild forest, field, and ocean adventures. Some of these adventures are planned and some are serendipitous, but he uses all of his experiences to reflect on the majesty and grandness of our Creator God. He has carefully chosen both Scripture texts and stories to provide a unique glimpse into the wonder of Gods ways with his world.

About the Author
Back Cover
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Psalm 8:9
Men to Match My Mountains
For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.
Amos 4:13 KJV
On July 4, 1894, Sam Walter Foss wrote, Bring me men to match my mountains... bring me men to match my forests.
John Muir penned,
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Natures peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like the autumn leaves.
It had been a hard climb that took several hours.
But I didnt feel like a conqueror of mountains or a man brimming over with energy and peace at the moment. I needed a few minutes rest and a mouthful of cold water.
My favorite hunting rifle, a Remington Sendero built in 1992 or 1993, was strapped tightly to my back. When Boss ClayMister Isaac Henry Claytonsaid it was time for a break and a swallow of water, I squatted among the rocks and scrub pine, took the firearm in my hands, and examined it for nicks or scratches before I did anything else, much as I wanted to pop the top off my canteen. The rifle had a stainless steel barrel and fittings set in a black fiberglass stock with a thin spidery pattern. An engraved plate by the trigger guard said the Sendero was a gift for Pale Rider from his friends at the North Island Rod and Gun Club in British Columbia, Canada. My nickname was a play on the western by the same name in which Clint Eastwood portrays an avenging angel who stalks the bad guys in the guise of an ordained minister. My profession of ordained minister at least partially fit.
