Brave the wild adventure of life with God.
Life is full of unknowns. It's natural to want answers, explanations, and clear directions along the way. But for the Christ-follower, this longing for clarity is met with a mysterious invitation: to trust, to surrender, to lay down one's life.
After his baptism, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, where he was tempted, where his identity as "God's beloved son" was solidified, and where he drew close to God. The wilderness is not only a place to observe the grandeur of God, it's a place to explore the mysteries of God: His purposes, His plans, and His relentless love.
Called to the Wild is a 40-day journey filled with thrilling adventure stories and poignant Biblical meditations, through which outdoor guide and Cru campus minister, Chris Lawrence, helps readers overcome fear and self-doubt by learning to follow Jesus as their trustworthy Guide through life's every adventure.
Perfect for those who love the outdoors, this 40-day "expedition" contains daily devotionals inspired by Lawrence's firsthand experiences in the wilderness. Connecting these adventures with Scripture passages and insightful questions, this book will inspire the reader to:Connect with God's word in a fresh way

Walk more intimately with Him
Even for the most faithful believer, instability and self-doubt threaten to steal joy, purpose, and passion. Every one of us is called to the wild: to draw near, to walk with, and to trust this Guide who is not tame, but who is always good.
