Devotions from a Hunting, Fishing, and Sports Father, to His Son

About this book

This collection of devotions from father to son draws upon the rich experiences of men who hunt, fish, love the outdoors, and all kinds of sports. It illustrates spiritual lessons for growing into the kind of men who follow Christ with zeal and who love their families with devotion. Author Gary Miller draws upon his life-long passion for sports and the outdoors, and his experiences as a pastor, columnist, and speaker to build fifty-two devotions that bring together Bible passages, these outdoor passions, and Christian wisdom. The results are devotions that fathers can share with their sons as they deepen their faith, grow into manhood, and develop their enthusiasm for all things outdoors. Devotions begin with passages from the Scriptures and then speak in the voice of a father passing on Christian insight to his son by pointing out the spiritual truths found in sports and creation. Finally, each devotion concludes with a prayer from the father to God, concerning his son. Gary Miller ministers to outdoorsmen as president of Outdoor Truths Ministries. He writes a column called Outdoor Truths for various media publications and speaks to outdoorsmen and diverse men's groups about the God of creation and His invitation to life's greatest adventure. He has written three other books that are compilations of his articles. He lives in Tennessee with his wife Teresa.
