Just like all his other insightful books, Sky Edge did not let me down! Sky Edge took me through a year's earthly experience in nature; summer fall winter and then spring- Phillip describes eternal truths which the LORD of Creation reminded him as he tramped the wide mountain sky edge around his mountain homes abundance. He parallels God's creation with our earthly human experience...drawing pictures in the readers mind of God's eternal focus and purpose for us as humans-....His desire for the human being to find in nature and the Word - their life, their strength, their love, their hope, and completeness in Jesus Christ. God has always spoken to people of His choosing in the solitude of nature, exposing Himself/through His Spirit and expressing to them His powerful loving tender presence. I highly recommend this book even as a daily devotional as it's chapters are short.

This is a wonderful book, combining love of God with love of nature. Phillip Keller did an excellent job of drawing lessons of eternal truth from pristine mountain wilderness.

I was a little disappointed because it wasn’t as engaging as his Psalm 23. But it was still good, just went slower for me. I still found a few “nuggets” so I feel that is good!

Lynnette gave this book to read and I liked it so well I ordered a copy for Lisa, my friend in Mongolia...knowing she would love the visions of sky edge mountain tops and valleys with apt spiritual analogies. I won't soon forget the 'visions' from this book.Despite some repetitious ideas in each chapter, Keller was a gifted Christian writer. Now, if he could only describe his impressions of Heaven and send them back to us!!!!!!

Similar to his book Sea Edge, this one centers around lessons that Keller observed/learned while living in a mountainous area of western Canada. It has twenty 4-6 page chapters, each focused on a particular aspect of the outdoors and a spiritual application drawn from it. Another quietly inspiring read from one of my favorite authors.
