Celebrating The Wonder of The Wilderness (Discovery Series Booklet)

The word wilderness evokes impressions and emotions in people that vary widely.

In these times of industrial and commercial expansion, wilderness regions are often seen as low-rent real estate.  Some see undeveloped land as untapped potential waiting for a developer's big idea and investors' money.  With a weathered face, hiking boots, and a sun-shielding hat, Dean's searching eyes scan rocks, weeds, soil, and whatever moves or doesn't move in the rustling leaves and grass.  There's wonder and significance in the regions of our world that many of us have looked at without every really seeing.  

Dean Ohlman is an educator and advocate for Christian environmental ethics.  He has been a scriptwriter and TV producer for Our Daily Bread Ministries Day of Discovery broadcast, as well as a contributor to Discovery Series.  He and his wife, Marge, live in West Michigan where he regularly hikes, enjoys photography, and revels in the beauty of God's creation.
