Spending time outdoors is a good habit, and for those who enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and other such outdoor activities, it’s a way a life. Christian men who enjoy the outdoors may have a distinctly unique perspective on life and it makes sense for their devotionals to reflect that view.
Along with devotions written especially for single hunters, fishermen, campers, hikers, bikers, and more, there are also devotions for fathers who enjoy the outdoors to share with their children and show them God through nature and outdoor activities.
