I decided to offer a more cost effective version of my Devotional "Whispers In The Woods" so the interior pictures are all BLACK AND WHITE and NOT full color in this version. "This marvelous little devotional book teaches us about God's principles for our lives through the stories of the outdoors and God's creatures. It is amazing how Stan Lake has taken the lessons of life expressed in and through animals, insects, and nature to show with scripture the truth of God's creation. I met Stan when he was a student with us at the Vision for Evangelism for the Next Generation weekend at the Billy Graham Library. His heart is truly that others might know the One who created all. Stan uses nature and the Creator 's words to share creative devotions to build His Kingdom." Tom Phillips Vice President, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Billy Graham Library "It is with great pleasure I highly recommend STAN LAKE's wonderful book, WHISPERS in the WOODS He found me through social media, gave a 'whisper' in the dark, and as fate would have it, through his persistence and my time availability, I was able to read it. I was thoroughly expecting a very worthy but 'holier than thou' approach- boy was I ever wrong Stan has captured the most wonderful Essence of Nature and the Great Spirit in a way that connects us too our roots and Mother Earth, while touching our hearts and spirits with kind and wise words that refresh, nourish and tickle all at the same time. That is no small accomplishment. I am sure Stan would say, he had a guiding hand If you need something to fill a dark space in your life, this enjoyable and easy read is like a cool drink of fresh water in the desert. This book brought me great joy " Mykel Hawke Retired Special Forces Officer, Military & Contractor Combat Veteran, TV Host & Producer, Author, Designer, Black Belt and Family Counselor. "Stan Lake, clearly loves God and His marvelous creation. This is evident from the many great examples from nature that Stan uses to illustrate Kingdom principles and encourage all to follow Christ. I highly recommend "Whispers' in the Woods." John R. Berry (Rev) Herpetologist, author & speaker. "Stan has a great heart for God and His creation so it's awesome to see him combine his passions to write this fun and inspiring book Read it by yourself or with your children- it will be a great way to grow closer to God and appreciate what He made " Joe Wyrostek Apostolic Elder Metro Praise International Church Chicago, IL. www.mpichurch.org "Stan Lake finds thoughts and messages from the creation he catches and releases those truths to his audience. All ages will enjoy reading the stories and experience personal growth as Stan finds the supernatural contained in the nature around us all." Dr. Mike Rakes Lead Pastor, winstonsalemfirst Winston Salem, NC "Nature is always a great teacher when you stop and study it. Stan Lake has shared his revelations from nature and God's word combining them to be truly thought provoking. Stan is a voice crying from and for the wilderness to help us make our ways straight with the Lord's help." Richard Norris DVM MBA Founder of Leading Men Only Perth, Scotland "If you have a love for our creator God and his handiwork then this devotional from Stan Lake highlights in a humorous and relevant way the constant inspiration that surrounds us and can be drawn from in our daily lives. Stan takes the everyday ignored aspects of creation and applies them to sound biblical teaching that we can all use to develop our walk with God. As someone who prefers to worship God in his creation I can draw a lot of parallels from Stan's teaching and appreciate the truth he reveals through the masters work. Whispers In The Woods will encourage you to pause, value and thank God for all he has done." Clinton Kirkpatrick.
