Read along as Dan teaches us to navigate these challenges and anticipate the arrival of our perfect hope, Jesus, who will make an end of death and make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.

In Life in the Wild Dan DeWitt gives us a survey of the biblical story that is steeped in theology, empathy, and hope. Read this to better understand all that went wrong in Eden. Read this to remind yourself of the hope that Eden will one day be restored.

Life is wild, and by wild I don't mean awesome and fun. Life can be wildly tough. In Life in the Wild, Dan DeWitt teaches us why life is terrible at times and where to turn. But there's hope and you'll find our Hope shared in these pages!

If you're trying to make sense of the wild times in which we live and thrive in the wild the world has become, Dan DeWitt's book is a hope-filled companion for the journey. We all recognize that something is wrong in us and around us. Life in the Wild helps us embrace the truth that even when we feel small, the Gospel is "big enough to make sense of sinkholes and shark bites."

One look at Genesis 3 shows us the legacy of human rebellion: we are now exiles in the wilderness. Despite our thorny surroundings, Dan DeWitt offers an insightful, pastoral, and thoroughly biblical guide to thriving in the wilderness. "Life in the Wild" calls us to hope in Jesus, the Savior who will lead us back home to the garden.

With a brilliantly accessible mix of biblical theology, apologetics and culture, Life in the Wild is a book that will help people think through a biblical worldview. Dan does a wonderful job unpacking the Genesis story of humanity and how the gospel of Jesus is what we need to survive and make sense of the wild world we live in. As a church planting pastor, I will be eager to get this book in the hands of new believers, young christians, and discipling groups!

Life in the Wild is the book I have been waiting for from Dan DeWitt.

This work will make you laugh, weep, and shout for joy.

This is exactly the book our culture needs right now. In this age when we're saturated with reminders that we live in a fallen world every time we turn on the news, Life in the Wild gives Christians a much-needed dose of perspective – and hope.
