This book has to deal with how a man ties hunting into the bible and many interesting hunting stories. His life as a writer, songwriter, pastor, and father all play into the book. This book is my all time favorite book I have read it 3 times now.

This book is not about how to harvest a big buck. But it related life experiences in the deer stand to religious analogy. I recommend it for anyone. its short and easy reading.

Thank you

The stories in this book are not just about hunting, they are about life. I'm an upland hunter, and I can relate to the way Steve cancer The Lord in the natural world. After all God created it and made us Good stewards of it.

Wasn't to bad. Kinda weird he must hunt often.

Just finished it whe hunting. Good fast paced read with alot of hunting scenarios that steve uses to relate to life. Looming forward to reading more by steve chapman

Down to earth and easy to read... good life lessons for hunters alike

A quick read with some great moments.

I read this book during my senior year. I love archery hunting, and it helped me tremendously throughout high school. For those people that do not archery hunt, it consists of a large amount of time for a person to think within a beautiful context.
Steve Chapman beautifully explains the intricate wonders of archery hunting in relation to life, morals, and hope.

Chapman's reflections hit home for me, as I could personally relate to each of the short reflections in relation to my archery hunting experiences.

In a world where people often yearn for speed, right now, and me-me; Chapman offers reflections to enjoy the beauty of nature, whitetail deer, and ourselves.

To encounter God in a tree stand, should be the pinnacle moment and experience of all archery hunters.

My dad wanted to read this book for my podcast so I read it. It was kinda corny but it actually gave me a deeper look into his hunting lifestyle. And it made me think about probing questions about my childhood that I’m going to ask him. Definitely will deepen our bond.

it is amazing what we can learn just from the encounter with a deer's steps.

so true. i hunt, therefore i am marginalized? yeah, that too, but those quiet times in the bush, listening to the occasional crotch-rocket roaring along a trail five miles away...that deer below me, undisturbed by that...though no doubt aware.

A little too much on the religious side for me, but still some interesting bits of perspective and guidance. I liked the imagery and analogy of being out in the woods and hunting; this I found to be an attractive and relaxing scene to hear the author's stories and messages.

I really liked it at first, but the second half started to drag a little. By the end I was ready to be done and mostly skimmed the final two stories.
