About the author

Bear Grylls has become known around the world as one of the most recognized faces of survival and outdoor adventure. His journey to this acclaim started in the UK on the Isle of Wight, where his late father taught him to climb and sail. Trained from a young age in martial arts, Bear went on to spend three years as a soldier in the British Special Forces, serving with 21 SAS. It was here that he perfected many of the skills that his fans all over the world enjoy watching him pit against mother-nature. Despite a free-fall parachuting accident in Africa, where he broke his back in three places, and after enduring months in military rehabilitation, Bear went on to become one of the youngest ever climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Bear went on to star in Discovery Channel's Emmy nominated Man Vs Wild and Born Survivor TV series, which has become one of the most watched shows on the planet. Off screen, Bear has lead record-breaking expeditions, from Antarctica to the Arctic, which in turn have raised over £2.5million for children around the world. In recognition of his expertise and service, Bear was appointed as the youngest ever Chief Scout to 28 million Scouts worldwide, awarded an honorary commission as a Lieutenant-Commander in the Royal Navy, and has authored 10 books, including To My Sons.

Reviews

[Vanne]

Gelezen voor Biblion alwaar de gehele recensie zal verschijnen. Engelstalig boek voor iedereen die wel een steuntje in de rug kan gebruiken in de vorm van God.

(Nooit gedacht dat ik ooit een zin als deze zou schrijven maar:)
Christelijk avonturier Bear Grylls geeft tips en moed aan de hand van ervaringen en Bijbel quotes.

In korte deelhoofdstukken (ieder 2 pagina's) geeft Bear een Bijbelse quote. Hij betrekt dat op de lezer en toont hoe je kracht kunt putten uit deze woorden. Hij heeft ook een versie geschreven voor volwassen lezers, maar dit is de versie voor kinderen en jongeren. Eenvoudig taalgebruik, kort en bondig, opbeurend en in grote letters. Speels vormgegeven. Kortom, dat ene boek waar veel Christelijke jeugd (zeker in deze tijden) waarschijnlijk op heeft zitten wachten (al zullen ze zich dat wellicht niet gerealiseerd hebben).

This was a hit, especially for my 11-year-old boy! The devotionals were short and to the point, full of authenticity, always connecting to a subject of Adventure and survival along with a biblical principle. After reading, we are now enjoying the wild vs interactive shows on Netflix. Really great resources from this author!
