Book Description
What was it like to literally follow Jesus? Often we read what Jesus said, but don't stop to see what He did. Pastor Randy Butler, in his often humorous, down-to-earth manner, helps us catch a fresh vision of what it must have been like to actually follow Christ. Gospel Grit is a call to cultivate the simplicity of trust and obedience in our own following. This book fires our imagination: What might have taken place around the campfire with Jesus? What could have been discussed while walking down a dust-plagued road outside of Jerusalem? What would Jesus and the disciples have discussed after a day of boating? Dr. Butler takes us through the Gospels examining the 731 statements that reflect either what Jesus showed us or told us. As we go through this book, we see a thirty-year-old carpenter who exchanged careers for a job that paid nothing for the remaining three years of His life; We see Him dodging in and out of crowds teaching, preaching, healing, and helping people, while at the same time relying on twelve guys to carefully watch what He showed them and listen to what He told them-so that years later, they would remember those special three years and accurately write down their memories. Dr. Butler believes these statements in the Gospels are for us, today-and we can accept the challenge to become more authentic followers of Him, living the real Gospel Grit.

Book Description
Carrying only basic camping equipment and a collection of the world's great spiritual writings, Belden C. Lane embarks on solitary spiritual treks through the Ozarks and across the American Southwest. For companions, he has only such teachers as Rumi, John of the Cross, Hildegard of Bingen, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Thomas Merton, and as he walks, he engages their writings with the natural wonders he encounters--Bell Mountain Wilderness with Søren Kierkegaard, Moonshine Hollow with Thich Nhat Hanh--demonstrating how being alone in the wild opens a rare view onto one's interior landscape, and how the saints' writings reveal the divine in nature. The discipline of backpacking, Lane shows, is a metaphor for a spiritual journey. Just as the wilderness offered revelations to the early Desert Christians, backpacking hones crucial spiritual skills: paying attention, traveling light, practicing silence, and exercising wonder. Lane engages the practice not only with a wide range of spiritual writings--Celtic, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Hindu, and Sufi Muslim--but with the fascination of other lovers of the backcountry, from John Muir and Ed Abbey to Bill Plotkin and Cheryl Strayed. In this intimate and down-to-earth narrative, backpacking is shown to be a spiritual practice that allows the discovery of God amidst the beauty and unexpected terrors of nature. Adoration, Lane suggests, is the most appropriate human response to what we cannot explain, but have nonetheless learned to love. An enchanting narrative for Christians of all denominations, Backpacking with the Saints is an inspiring exploration of how solitude, simplicity, and mindfulness are illuminated and encouraged by the discipline of backcountry wandering, and of how the wilderness itself becomes a way of knowing-an ecology of the soul.
