Author Don Ian Smith was a rural pastor, rancher, and outdoorsman who found inspiration in the beauty of the Idaho mountains. This collection of 18 meditations was the first in a series of four. In the rugged mountains that surround his ranch in the wild Salmon River country of Idaho, Don Ian Smith has found an approach to life unsullied by the pressures of civilization that so often push ones thinking out of focus. Here, he says, it is easy to know that God alone is great--that the God who put the mountains on their foundations and the rivers in their beds is also one who feeds his flock like a shepherd and carries the young lamb in his arms.
