John A. Beck

Some of the Bible’s most familiar and powerful stories took place in the wilderness.  The Israelites spent forty years in the wilderness.  Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.  Even the beloved “Shepherd Psalm,” Psalm 23, is shaped by wilderness.  This ecosystem is mentioned by a variety of names more than three hundred times in the Bible.  It is these portions of God’s Word that will take on new life as you come to understand the realities of biblical wilderness.

In this DVD, you will take a series of hikes with Dr. Beck through real wilderness areas, hikes that will impress you with the beauty and austerity of this unique place.  You will learn more about the natural world of the wilderness and you will see how its realities are woven into God’s Word.

But wilderness is not just an ecosystem, it is also a season of life.  That is what makes this study so powerful.  The Lord included wilderness stories in our Bible because they speak so powerfully to us as we navigate through our own seasons of wilderness.
