You don't need to spend forty years---or even forty days---in the wilderness to encounter God. This practical guide reveals the power of experiencing God's presence in many variations of the natural world---from a backpacking trip in a truly remote wilderness to an afternoon spent in a nearby park to a single moment savored in your own backyard.
While exploring wilderness wisdom from several faith traditions---Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and more---you will discover how the universal experience of being present in nature can lead to startling discoveries both about God and about yourself. Drawing from his own significant moments in the wilderness and stories from the many people who have accompanied him on wilderness treks, John Lionberger asks probing questions and offers inspiring suggestions that will spur you to look at all aspects of the world around you from a new point of view.
