Bücher von Stephen Mills

Breathed on by a tiger, stalked by a lion, nearly flattened by a rhino, struck by lightning and rocked by an earthquake... A wildlife filmmaker's life is certainly exciting. But there's a serious side to these adventures. In the last 50 years nature films have helped to shape public awareness of both the beauty of the natural world and its plight. Environmental issues that once seemed peripheral are now centre-stage. Stephen Mills has been a leading cameraperson and writer and this is a book about his life in film. Natural Causes tells the story of his campaigns, his companions, his colleagues, the challenges and charms of the landscapes in which he has worked and the extraordinary wild animals he has filmed. And it is a book about one man's modest bid to ever-so-slightly change the world. For, at its heart, Natural Causes touches on the profound spiritual importance of nature to us all. "... if you have a dream, a mission, a wish to change the world, you can do it. You can do it as long as you accept that the dream may shrink, the mission may creep a little and the change you make may be very small and that all those little bites out of your ambitions in no way render them pointless."

The Genesis Chronicles tells the story of Genesis via a series of dialogues between grandfathers and grandsons. It mixes humor with serious analysis and application of the key themes of the book. By looking at the lives of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Joseph, etc., we are challenged to examine our own lives. This book shows us errors to avoid, how to respond when we have failed, and provides guidelines for living a life that is pleasing to God. It reminds us that, like the characters of Genesis, our lives are a series of triumphs and failures. But through it all God never rejects us. He is in charge even we cannot sense His presence. Specific application questions after every few chapters of the story of Genesis challenge the readers to specifically apply lessons learned to their own lives.
