People have always managed their critical natural resources with
care and respect. However, the definition of what is and is not
perceived as a resource critical for their survival varies by time,
place and culture. Documenting some of the perceptions, strategies
and actions of some natural resource agencies as they seek to
respond to the changed reality influencing their policies and
practices, this book provides ample evidence that the traditional
models guiding natural resource agencies and professionals have
exceeded the point of declining return.

Reading Through Matthew, Encountering God is the first book by
William Burch. He was born in North Hollywood, California in 1971,
the second of 2 sons born to James and Rosa Burch. In 1977, the
Burch family moved to Daleville, Alabama where the author grew up
and later attended Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. William
served in the Unites States Army before moving to Texas and
completing his Bachelor Degree at the University of North Texas in
Denton, Texas. The author went on to attend Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas completing a Master of
Divinity Degree. William has served in a number of churches as a
teacher, lay leader, and staff member. This book fulfills his long
held desire and passion for writing. In the future, the author
envisions continuing his ministry in both writing and church
ministry.God teaches and speaks to people through the Bible. This
book will teach and inspire Christians to read the Bible and
respond with their lives. In Reading Through Matthew, Encountering
God, I demonstrate my method of Bible reading, journaling, and
prayer. This Dynamic Bible Reading, as I call it, involves reading
a small Bible passage and journaling the believer's interaction
with that passage through three distinct sections; (1) Scripture
Insight: the meaning of the passage, (2) Application: how to apply
the meaning to life, and (3) Prayer: seeking God's guidance in
living out what the passage teaches. To best draw the meaning of
Scripture into our lives, we must read it, work through its
meaning, and begin to practice it in life. This book helps to
develop these skills. Once gained, I hope each reader will pass
this book on to someone else who might benefit from it.
