Another Look at Life from a Deer Stand: Going Deeper Into the Woods

I purchased this book for my fiace', who is an avid hunter, he throughly enjoyed it! It arrived on time and was in mint condition!

Great continuation of his first book. I read it while in a deer blind in Canada and it had many good insights.

If you or your gift recipient liked "Life from a Deer Stand" this is just what you are looking for. A thoughtful, interesting book for Christians and hunters or those who just love the woods. Highly recommended.

Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (4/07) Steve Chapman in "Another Look at Life from a Deer Stand" masterfully weaves homespun stories, drawn from his growing up experiences in West Virginia. He uses these every day incidents and unusual events from the past and present to make spiritual applications for daily living. He compares his trail for truth and wisdom from the Bible with the "hunt" or with "going deeper into the woods." Steve's writing is filled with subtle humorous stories from nature. He uses these stories, Scriptures and song lyrics to point the reader to simple truths and principles such as the importance of showing love to others. He relates errors in choices made on the hunt to working out answers for life at home. Steve shows how changing one's course can lead to fullness in life. His writing reflects his understanding of the unique spiritual needs of men. The book is filled with practical pointers on life drawn from the life of a hunter. These short stories can be read as devotionals for meditation at home or during those, long quiet hours on a "deer stand." They are uplifting with a focus on God's priorities in parenting, as a husband, in business, and as a sports lover. Pen and ink illustrations, drawn by Steve himself, add an interesting dimension to his writing as they open the windows to the creative imagination of the reader. These simple drawings can bring out an almost forgotten memory, a spiritual lesson, or a place in time where questions were rewarded with discovery. Chapman's love for music comes through as he uses the lyrics of a song to illustrate important lessons on life, applicable to the hunter, the sportsman, husband, or father. "Another Look at Life from a Deer Stand" is an ideal gift for the "hard-to-buy-for-man" or for any man interested in a new glimpse of His creator.
