Wilderness of Hope by Quinn Grover Pdf

Longtime fly fisherman Quinn Grover had contemplated the “why” of his fishing identity before more recently becoming focused on the “how” of it. He realized he was a dedicated fly fisherman in large part because public lands and public waterways in the West made it possible. In Wilderness of Hope Grover recounts his fly-fishing experiences with a strong evocation of place, connecting those experiences to the ongoing national debate over public lands. Because so much of America’s public lands are in the Intermountain West, this is where arguments about the use and limits of those lands rage the loudest. And those loudest in the debate often become caricatures: rural ranchers who hate the government; West Coast elites who don’t know the West outside Vail, Colorado; and energy and mining companies who extract from once-protected areas. These caricatures obscure the complexity of those who use public lands and what those lands mean to a wider population. Although for Grover fishing is often an “escape” back to wildness, it is also a way to find a home in nature and recalibrate his interactions with other parts of his life as a father, son, husband, and citizen. Grover sees fly fishing on public waterways as a vehicle for interacting with nature that allows humans to inhabit nature rather than destroy or “preserve” it by keeping it entirely separate from human contact. These essays reflect on personal fishing experiences with a strong evocation of place and an attempt to understand humans’ relationship with water and public land in the American West.

Hope for the Wilderness: Through All the Pain to All the Promise by Russ Moore Pdf

Everyone goes through the wilderness. But not everyone makes it to the promised land. We all know what it's like to feel trapped in the most painful seasons of life. To taste the tears, wince under the pain, and watch our best days fade away into the past. In other words, we know what it's like to feel stuck in a desert. Fortunately, there's hope. The words inside are liquid hope to drink while you walk through whatever wilderness you're in. You'll laugh and you'll cry. Light bulbs will pop in your mind, strength will flood your soul, and direction will surge to your feet. And in the end, you'll find a way out. In refreshing honesty and down-to-earth style, Russ draws revelation, humor and strength from his own story along with a strange people out of the pages of Scripture who endured their own wilderness journey. He paints a compelling picture to lead us out of the fog and agony of our toughest seasons and into new places of perspective, clarity, healing and courage. You may be in the fight of your life. But you don't have to die there. Nor do you just have to survive. You can learn how to thrive. In fact, your best days just may be up ahead.

Faith in the Wilderness by Hannah Nation,Simon Liu Pdf

"If we want revival in our communities, then let us learn from those being revived." For many Western Christians, the experience of suffering and persecution is remote. For Chinese Christians, on the other hand, persecution is a regular aspect of the Christian life. If a Christian from the West was transported to a Chinese house church, the topic of suffering would be ever--present in preaching and conversation. With decades of persecution under the thumb of the Chinese Communist Party and a rich theology of suffering, the Chinese house church movement has much to contribute theologically to the global church. In Faith in the Wilderness, editors Hannah Nation and Simon Liu pull together the insights of the Chinese Church for the West. These sermonic letters from Chinese Christians will awaken readers to the reality of the gospel--the ground of our hope--in the midst of darkness. Readers will be convicted, encouraged, and edified by the testimony of these Chinese Christians.

A Voice in the Wilderness by Charles H. Dyer Pdf

'The Bible is not a sterile Book immaculately conceived in some sort of mystical, holy vacuum. Though God is the ultimate Author, He used human writers as His instruments. And to interpret properly His Word we must enter their world. The bleating of sheep on barren hills, the mournful wail of a ram's horn trumpet on the temple steps, the harsh clang of sword hitting sword in epic battle hang like tapestries in the background of every page.' - Excerpt from A Voice in the Wilderness. Life's struggles can make us feel as if we're wandering in the desert, thirsty for hope and healing. Using Isaiah 40 as a backdrop, best-selling author Charles Dyer takes us on a journey through ancient Judea for a vivid reminder that others before us have known suffering - and, just as God was present for them in their pain, He will walk with us through our wilderness.

Faith Through the Wilderness by Dennis Smock Pdf

It is easy to proclaim faith when everything is going the way that you want it to go. How do you respond when the world doesn't cooperate with what you have planned? We all face these tough times in our lives. Life is not a series of mountaintop experiences. We must be able to proclaim that we can keep and grow our faith while we are in the tough times. This book explores faith, wilderness experiences, human nature, comfort zones and the feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and loss that we all feel when things aren't going the way that we want. It also reminds each of us who ultimately guides our steps and the simple fact that we must never lose that knowledge, that faith.

Hope in the Wilderness by Noel Forlini Burt Pdf

“Behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart . . .” (Hos 2:14) Hope in the Wilderness urges you to consider that your wilderness experiences—places where you suffer deeply, places where you can’t find or feel God anymore, places of transition and upending of the life you used to know—are the very places where God speaks to your heart. As Noel Forlini Burt invites you into her own season of wilderness wandering, she enfolds the story of biblical characters who also wandered in wilderness, gently beckoning you to open yourself to the heart of God in your own story. Not merely a book to read, Hope in the Wilderness beckons you to lament your losses honestly, to be allured by the God who loves you, and to discover hope in the midst of your own wilderness.

A Glance of Hope by Jeff Rotich Pdf

One of the greatest challenges that can ever be experienced is living without hope. Hope is very important to us. It's like fuel to a car engine, without fuel, an engine, no matter how much horsepower it has, cannot start. Without hope, we can't stay on course towards our destinies. Without hope, we will falter by the wayside. Many people have at one time or another needed hope to get them through their trials. We often hear people cry of hopelessness in the last minutes before they take their lives. If they had hope, they would have a reason to live on. Like most people, Jeff has found himself more than ever in need of hope. The hope that only comes from God. Hope to live for another day. Hope to overcome his trials. Hope to stand and keep standing even with everything around him failing. Hope to see his purpose and dreams come to fruition. Jeff wrote this book because at one time he had found himself without hope. This book, A Glance of Hope is a story of courage, resilience, and hope in God. Jeff shares his amazing journey of hope in dealing with life challenges. He has encountered many trials and wilderness experiences and has overcome great challenges that have made him who he is today. Jeff is a true testimony that your dreams are not over no matter the circumstances that you may be in. With God on your side and A Glance of Hope, you can overcome any challenges and achieve your dreams. You may be on a wilderness journey of your own, a terminal illness, COVID illness, divorce, unemployment, cancer, financial trouble, legal trouble, prison, or feeling hopeless. Know that the struggles and situations you face are intended to be stepping stones for God's purpose to be fulfilled in your life. God is able to turn things around. He is in the restoration business to make you hope again, dream again, and have a purposeful life. Trust in Him and let His will be done in your life.

The Wilderness Campaign by Gary W. Gallagher Pdf

In the spring of 1864, in the vast Virginia scrub forest known as the Wilderness, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee first met in battle. The Wilderness campaign of May 5-6 initiated an epic confrontation between these two Civil War commanders--one that would finally end, eleven months later, with Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The eight essays here assembled explore aspects of the background, conduct, and repercussions of the fighting in the Wilderness. Through an often-revisionist lens, contributors to this volume focus on topics such as civilian expectations for the campaign, morale in the two armies, and the generalship of Lee, Grant, Philip H. Sheridan, Richard S. Ewell, A. P. Hill, James Longstreet, and Lewis A. Grant. Taken together, these essays revise and enhance existing work on the battle, highlighting ways in which the military and nonmilitary spheres of war intersected in the Wilderness.
