Publisher's Synopsis
The Gospel of Out of Doors is a book written by Francis Edward Clark and published in 1920. The book is a collection of essays that explore the spiritual and moral lessons that can be learned from nature and the great outdoors. Clark, who was a prominent Christian leader and founder of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), believed that spending time in nature could help people connect with God and develop a deeper understanding of their place in the world. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the beauty of nature, the importance of solitude, the lessons of the seasons, and the spiritual significance of various outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and camping. Clark draws on his own experiences in the outdoors, as well as the writings of other nature enthusiasts and religious thinkers, to make his case for the spiritual value of spending time in nature.The Gospel of Out of Doors is a timeless work that continues to inspire readers to this day.
