This review is from: A Look at Life from a Deer Stand: Hunting for the Meaning of Life (Paperback)

I had a hard time with this book . . .I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! It is an excellent book, and I recommend it to all deerhunters, especially Christian deerhunters! It's an easy, interesting read and I am going to buy copies of this book for my huntin' buddies, which include my teenage sons. Steve Chapman draws the reader into a vivid situation, allowing the reader to feel as if he is in the woods sitting in the tree stand. Also, the author shares his personal views about many areas of life. This book makes you think about many different things! Buy it--you'll like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all deer hunters!, December 23, 1999

By	Jason Hnakins (Martinsville,Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Look at Life from a Deer Stand: Hunting for the Meaning of Life (Paperback)

This book is a must read for all deer hunters. It is not only a reflection of times afield but also a reflection of how these times apply to modern life. THIS IS NOT AN EDUCATIONAL BOOK ON DEER HUNTING, AS MUCH AS IT IS A REFLECTION ON WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AND WHERE WE CAN GO IN LIFE. The author shares his experiences in the field with you the reader. Most of them we can relate to. While in Illinois this year I found myself reading this book while on stand passing the dull times. This book captivated my attention with the remarkable similarities between life, hunting, and our every day life. While reading this book I was able to harvest a fine eleven pointer that came in while I was on page 50. After returning home from the hunt I could not wait to resume my reading. This is an enjoyable book for all hunters because we have all been there. In our pursuit of big bucks, we get out of the hunt what we put into the hunt. With this book, you will get out of it what your heart and soul put into it. Read this book and take what you can get.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Look At Life From A Deer Stand, September 14, 2001

By	Mike Eckley "[e-mail]" (Morgantown, WV United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Look at Life from a Deer Stand: Hunting for the Meaning of Life (Paperback)

This book was very enjoyable. It is written in the form of short chapters that tell multiple deer hunting stories that are then compared to ones personal relationship with God and family. Any hunter, sportsman, or outdoorsman can easily relate to the stories in this book. I would recommend reading A Look At Life From A Deer Stand, because it helps us hunters better understand how God, family, and hunting all tie in together to make our lives more enjoyable.
