A Spiritual Field Guide: Meditations for the Outdoors

Like the authors write, when Jesus needed to think, meditate or relax, he headed into the wilderness. It's time Christians did the same. We all need to step back and relax and find ways to cut the clutter from our lives. Too busy? Head into the woods, turn your phone and computer off. Read this book. Make a list of things and activities in your life you can do without. Everyone should take a few days (or more) every year and head into the woods, go hiking or camping, sit by a lake somewhere and take a real break, not a busybody vacation. Everyone needs it. This book shows how many people over the ages found how important the outdoors are to their well-being. Don't be blind, get out of the city.

All the guides at a boundary waters bible camp where I work were given this compact reference guide to use on trail. It has great selected passages from the Bible, Christian writers, and even some secular inspirational writings (such as Sigurd Olson).
