Synopsis

Many men are attracted to outdoor sports because of the time it gives them alone in God's creation--time to rest, reflect, and refresh before returning to the everyday stresses of work, family life, finances, and more. Faith Afield is their guide to making this time in God's country last when they return home.

This unique devotional, geared primarily toward men, uses illustrations and principles from hunting, shooting, and fishing sports, giving sportsmen new insights into truths from Scripture and challenging them in their walk with God. Each devotion leaves the outdoorsman with a specific life application on topics such as:

·the importance of authentic living
·putting on the whole armor of God
·overcoming obstacles in life
·the key to avoiding sexual temptations
·focusing on that which is most important

The perfect gift for the hunter, fisherman, or gun enthusiast, Faith Afield will challenge men as it brings them closer to God.

"Steve Scott is right on target with this timely devotional born from his experiences in the outdoors and his study in God's Word. With the insight of a skilled marksman, his words hit the bull's-eye of both head and heart."--Jimmy Sites, producer/host of Spiritual Outdoor Adventures TV

"One of the best sportsman's devotionals I've ever read. It is educational, inspiring, and a wonderful tribute to the God of the Holy Bible. It will change your life."--Charlie Alsheimer, Deer and Deer Hunting magazine

"Steve Scott has given great insight from his personal and intimate knowledge of being in the woods in pursuit of game. He expresses wonderful analogies between the passions a hunter/fisherman has for the outdoors and God's lessons from his Word. I, for one, am a better person for having read Faith Afield."--Will Primos, Primos Hunting
