Somewhere deep inside, you know what your gift, purpose, and mission are. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life. Know how to navigate, don’t worry about the destination, and stay alert. These are just a few of the strategies that contribute to both successful lion tracking and a life of fulfillment. When we join Boyd Varty and his two friends tracking lions, we are immersed in the South African bush, and, although we learn some of the skills required for actual tracking, the takeaways are the strategies that can be applied to our everyday lives. Trackers learn how to use all of their senses to read the environment and enter into a state of “greater aliveness.” When we learn to find and follow our inner tracks, we learn to see what is deeply important to us. In the same way the trip in the classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was a vehicle to examine how to live out our values, the story of this one-day adventure—with danger and suspense along the way—uses the ancient art of tracking to convey profound lessons on how to live a purposeful, meaningful life of greater harmony.
The story of Daniel is one of the best-known stories from the Old Testament that is often misunderstood. The author wants the reader to picture the life of Daniel, wise advisor to the kings. This book is taking the book of Daniel as a literal story and trying to put together the life of the man who lived to be very old. Though much of the story is fiction it follows the story as it is given in the Bible as well as drawing from archeological information and the author's own imagination, weaving a tale of the prophet who served under six kings while in exile. Travel back in history and read the tale of Daniel and his friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, facing the lions, as they navigate life within the pagan Babylonian kingdom. The author hopes that one might discover things about Daniel that they did not know before. Daniel was not a fairy tale, a figment of fiction, but an historical man, and this is a biblically based story of his life.
